Default No brake fluid going to rear calipers (need help)

Hi guys...I bought a 95 integra basically a rolling shell got the motor in started it, needed the rear passenger caliper bought it and installed it changed all 8 brake pads.

My problem is that im not getting no fluid to both rear calipers. When I try bleeding the brakes im able to do it to the 2 fronts but no fluid comes out of the both the rear calipers or lines. When I took off the rear driver side before I changed the pads it had a lil bit of fluid in the line but now after everything is on the car I get no fluid like its supposed to.

Btw im not loosing any fluid unless I bleed the 2 front ones, and also all the lines seem to be fine.

Assuming this is where the rear brake lines connect on the engine bay


and that the lines that go in the calipers are connected it looks like my brake lines are where they are supposed to be .

Please help this is all that I need to get my car rolling.

Blockage in the proportioning valve, most likely. 94

Sorry I took so long I had to deal with other things on the car but its done now...

I checked the valve it shoots liquid so the valve is good ...The car does not leak and still no fluid from bleeder in rear wheels...I took of the hose that goes to the caliper nothing there ither so I guess ill check where that hose connects with the brake line and see if thats where the problem is.

Then it has to be the lines themselves... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...ystemcomp=List All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal

Have you checked to see if they "pinched off" someplace? 94

They look ok the only place I have not checked is under the car but up front and behind the fuel tank nothing looks wrong.

Disconnect at both ends and blow compressed air through the lines. 94

WTF, why would anybody do that, that is just plain stupid.

OK, [just had to know] I Googled that and found that if your stuck in butt **** nowhere and something goes wrong with a caliper and parts are not avalable it is a "jimmy rig" to get you down the road with some brakes.

Was it the same on both sides? 94

Same **** I said I kinda knew it was going to end up with something like that...The car was missing a caliper I guess thats why they did it but they where driving it around like that before I bought it.

It was like that on both sides the other side instead of a screw it had a nail with some kind of cloth material.

I hate it when I find **** like that on cars. The only way I would be ok with it if it was for an emergency but not to drive it like nothings wrong.

Hi All, I have a 03 Acura TL and have NO fluid going to the rear right wheel. (I had No fluid going to both rear wheels prior to replacing the proportioning valve, after replacement I noticed the right rear still not getting fluid). Upon installing the new prop valve and after bleeding, I did get brake fluid to the wheel and I though my problem had been resolved. However after only one day I noticed the pedal feeling strange again ( hard and high). I pulled the same right rear wheel , bled and again noticed No fluid to this wheel again . Cant understand why it would be fine for one day and then back to same problem soon after. (calipers are new and not stuck) Im thinking master cylinder but if master was bad wouldn't I also not get fluid from one other wheel? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you
Frank
