Would a bad wheel cylinder cause the lack of brake fluid coming out of the bleeder screw? When I try to bleed the brakes, no fluid comes out at all when I unscrew the bleeder screw. I've tried this with a vacuum pump and the traditional pump method. This is on a 94 EX with drum brakes. The rear is the one that is bad.

Might have a bit of corrosion blocking the bleeder hole. At times have seen vehicles in the shop with an issue like this. Try opening the bleeder that isnt flowing and press the brake pedal, most likely this will push out what ever is blocking and fluid will flow. At that point bleed away.


Also might wanna pull off the drum and pull back the rubber boots at the ends of the wheel cylinder, should be dry inside. If there is brake fluid, replace the cylinders.
