Rear brake problem.

[95IVSHO]

1995 SHO ATX.
Well the reason I had to fix car was we were on a trip and i let my buddie drive to get some rest, he ended up putting it in a ditch due someone cutting him off.
The new problem was that it had broken the rear brake lines. so i went and temporarily fixed them till we got back from the trip with some rubber fuel line and clamps and blocked off the rear brakes all together. then i get home and put new lines from the front floor pan to the rear block(the one attached to the rod on the lca). ahd here is the problem. i get fluid to the block but none to the calipers. i was told load up the trunk with weight to load the valve on the block and let it gravity bleed for a day or so and that would do the trick, but it hasnt. so i am in desperate need of help. any input would be greatly appreciated.

Replace the rubber lines to the calipers. They deteriorate internally and block pressure to and from the caliper.

Well you can loosen up fittings one at a time and have someone step on the pedal to figure out where the blockage is occuring. Start with the output lines on the bias valve itself. If nothing leaks there when the pedal is depressed, the valve needs to either be adjusted or replaced (or bypassed, but I wouldn't recommend that). If you get fluid, move on to the next fitting where the metal line meets the rubber hose and repeat. If you there's no fluid here you probably have a kink in the steel line somewhere. If there is, try again at the caliper end of the rubber. No fluid = bad hose. If you can get fluid here but not when you open the bleeder, you got a caliper issue to deal with.
