Brakes problem
1985 Chevy Astro 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic unk miles

I just replaced calipers. During bleeding of brakes, right rear brake line stopped discharging fluid. Old brake fluid was/is like sludge. Filled reservoir w/clean brake fluid. Tried to flush lines, but can't get any more fluid out of right rear line. How do I get the brake fluid to start flowing again? Thanks, Mike.

Hello, did you follow the proper bleeding procedures?
Try bleeding the other end, see if fluid returns to the rear.

If the brake line is blocked, you may have to replace it.
