the lines must've gone completely dry, as did the prop valve.. just keep pumping the pedal with all the bleeder screws shut then try the pumping procedure again until you get fluid

when you bleed it, do u use a clear tubing line to show that the stream is solid with no air bubbles?

ok so today i used a clear bottle and some tubing, i put the tubing over each bleeder valve and dipped the tip of the tubing into the clear bottle that had brake fluid in it, i bled each wheel 4 times, and did the whole process 3 times, which would make it 12 times for each wheel with NO luck. WTF.

does anyone know that size of the tubing because im going to home depot to get me some heavy duty shist. the one you buy from autozone in that bleeder kit shrinks by the time you bleed the front two nipples.
