Brake bleeding help

[Welderman85]

Hi all I hope I posted this in the correct spot. I shave a 2000 NBS Tahoe just replaced all the brake lines on im having trouble getting it to bleed the rear. I think I have a little air in th Master cylinder I tried. To bleed it and it helped but once I tried to bleed the rear I just keep getting a ton of air and very little fluid. I tried to gravity bleed the rear but got nothing. Then I striped the bleeder hole in the caliper so I have to fix that tonight. Thank you

Get a tool called a mighty vac it's a hand held vacuum pump

Start with the longest line from the Mc

So the right rear and then work around

You using an assistant?

I tried the vacuum tool and it kept sucking air from the bleeder screws. Ended up putting a clear hose from the bleeders to a jar with brake fluid in it so it couldn't suck air back up. Then start at farthest brake from master cylinder and work towards it. A helper or being able to see the jar is necessary so you can see when there's no more bubbles. When bubbles stop, quit pumping the pedal and tighten the bleeder. Buy a gallon of fluid. You'll need it.

Brent, go to parts store and get a hose kit to bleed the m/c. It has two fittings that go in place of the brake lines with short rubber hoses. Do not overfill the m/c, hold the hoses in the m/c front/rear while someone pushes the pedal SLOWLY which will circulate the fluid back in thre m/c, once the bubbles have stopped, screw your hoses back on.
As OP stated, R/R,L/R,R/F,L/F in that order.
NEVER PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. Go slow, you will get it sooner than you think. Follow directions. JMHO and good luck.

Just wanna second what David said- NEVER PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR

I did this when bleeding my '08. All was well until I was working on the last corner. I pushed the pedal to the floor like I had been doing all along and suddenly the pedal felt differently. I thought I had pushed out a huge air bubble or something. After that, it wouldn't bleed for shit and the rear brakes now had air in them again. Turns out I broke the master cylinder with my flooring the brake pedal. You may have done this. Verify all of your lines are secured and not leaking, first.

During your bleeding did you by chance quickly push the pedal or was it a slow push?
