Hello, I am having a problem with my civic. It had a rear disc swap by the previous owner, and has been sitting for a while. I recently tried to bleed the brakes due to the pedal having no pressure and the front passenger and rear driver side have no fluid coming out of them. I get fluid coming out of the rear passenger and front driver side. All the lines are connected and I have no leaks. Prop valve is swapped to a 40/40 from the da and the problem still occurs. Am I missing something? Any help would be great thanks.

Can you fully remove the bleed screw? If not, it may be frozen and blocking fluid. If you unbolt the brake line from the caliper, does fluid flow? Don't try that unless you have plenty of extra fluid laying around - if fluid does flow, you're going to have to bleed the everliving hell out of your system.

+1 Make sure the bleeders are not clogged(what he said) ^

the bleed screw comes all the way out and when I unbolt the hard line from the rubber line fluid leaks out, it just doesnt come out where the bleed screw is even when the bleed scre is removed

When you remove the bleed screw, does the bottom look like an tapered bolt? It should look similar to this. If it doesn't, it's snapped off inside the caliper.

yeah it looks like that. I just got fluid to come out the front passenger but still not the rear driver side, maybe the screw is blocked or the line?

The screws are stupidly cheap to replace - pick up some of the DIY bleeder screws. They're like, $5, and have a spring and ball bearing in them so you can bleed brakes easily without needing two people, a grav setup, or a pressure setup.

If fluid flows freely out of the line when you disconnect it, it isn't the line. If the problem persists after replacing the bleeder screws, your calipers might be gummed up.

Ok, thank you ill try the screws first and then calipers if that doesnt work
