No fliud to the rear brakes
 
Just bled my Wilwood MC manual brake setup and went to bleed my rear brakes but no fluid. Could it be I have my brake actuator arm to tight and not coming back far enough? I have the wildwood proportional valve wide open. Thanks

Looking for something other than something in the lines.

Do you have a factory proportioning valve? It could be stuck in front only mode.

Wilwood and its open. Wilwood thinks I may have it adjusted to tight and it not on covering the exit but if it bleed correctly then...

Do you have disc or drum brakes rear? If drum you need a 10# residual valve.

You would be surprise how much fluid it takes to fill new, dry brake lines...I would just crack all the bleeders and let gravity do the work while keeping an eye on the fluid level in the MC...

I have good luck with a vacuum bleeder. Also have a Motive pressure bleeder but doesn't fit the Wilwood master.

thanks gravity is one of my options

I have had good luck with a Phoenix reverse bleeder. You push fluid from the calipers back to the master cylinder.

I went this route when going through my son's truck, except did the homemade route to save some money. Worked like a charm.
