Hey guys I recently got a 92 SHO and one of the problems I am having now is I can't seem to bleed brake fluid into the new caliper. I have the bleeder valve off all the way and I even removed the brake line and still no fluid is going to that caliper. I can feel pressure in the brakes when I step on them, but no matter what I do nothing is coming out of that line going to the passenger side rear caliper.

The brake may have collapsed on the inside. Do they look like the original rubber brake lines. I had a 95 that had a collapsed line on the rear right side as well.

The line looks fine from the outside. no signs of the rubber having collapsed. Would it still be possible blocked from the inside? I can always go and get another brake line.

Usually there is nothing visible. You can take the line off and make sure it is coming out of the hard line, but more than likely the rubber hose is your issue.

Yup you were right. As soon as I pulled the rubber flex line the fluid started coming out of the steel line. Picked up a replacement for both sides just in case I run into the issue on the other. Thanks!
