Hey gang...my bro and I are working feverishly to get the car together by christmas. We assembled the brake system and went to bleed it but nothing happened. We first tried the Haynes method of opening the top bleeder screw on the right rear brake and smartly pushing on the pedal and slowly releasing it...all while the bleeder screw was open. Nothing happened. Then we thought that maybe we could close the screw and just pump on the pedal to builld some pressure....also nothing happened. The fluid in the resevoir is not going into the system...HELP.....are deadline is fast approaching
