1980 z28 brake issues

I just replaced the prop. valve and went to bleed the brakes but only air is coming out of left rear brake. Right rear brake is fine but no matter how long I vacuum the left side, only air is coming out. Do I need to bleed the prop. valve or something?


Thanks

Re: 1980 z28 brake issues

Probably have junk in the line or wheel cylinder on the right side. Have someone press the pedal down like you are trying to blow a line then open the bleeder on teh right side. When you replace a prop valve or master cylinder it can take 3-8 master cylinders full of fluid before all teh air is gone. Just keep at it. Vacuuming the lines wont have enough (pressure) to do a perfect job.
