Brake bleeding woes.....

Now the last thing stopping me from driving the car...
I rebuilt the master cylinder wrong (doh!)
So anyway, the passenger side has bled beautifully, and to my knowledge the rears are bled well too...but we cant get the drivers side to produce any air or fluid out the bleed valve...wtf?
ANyone experienced this typa thing?
Thanks
Blake

So the front left is fine but the front right isn't?
If so, did you clean the brake lines? It may be blocked somehow just in the right one.

take the entire bleed nipple out, could be blocked from behind,
and sometime clogged with old grease and shit on the out side,
or even check where that line meets up with the master cylinder,
ould be blocked,
oh.....and if its just a used master cylinder and nort a reco or new one, u shound never push the break peddle right to the floor when u are bleeding the brakes,
brake peddle dont go all the way to the floor with normal daily driving, so rust an crap can build up at the end of the master cylinder sleeve, and by pushing the pedal to the floor will push all this shit through the system,
g luck man!

another way to get fluid out is to use a sandblasting kit or spray gun, and where it is suppoesed suck paint/sand, you put a hose from it onto the bleed nipple. then undo the nipple and squeeze the trigger....wait for the fluid to spray out then take it off and let gravity do the rest.
may just be a bubble in there somewhere
another way is to use a large syringe, put a hose from syrnge to the nipple then pull the plunger.
hope u get it

I had a problem with my celica a while back where there was a buildup of dirt behind the bleed nipple and I couldn't bleed the drivers side slave until I realized what was happening. Work from the cylinder back until you get a fluid flow, what ever comes after that is causing your problem.
