Rear brakes will not bleed
I have a 94 and i went to replace my front caliper and pads also replaced the drum shoes, springs, and wheel cylinders. Everything went on fine. I went to go and bleed the brakes and there was nothing coming out of the rear bleeder valves. I tested the fronts and they bleed perfectly fine. So i took the brake line out from behind the wheel cylinder and still no fluid. I cracked the line on the master cylinder and brake fluid came out so i know the master is good. Following the line i found the RABS and i can not tell if it is bad or not. Still shooting some PB blaster to soak the brake lines going in and out of it so i can remove the sensor and take a look at it. The guy at les shwab told me to stick a paper clip in the valve and to push the valve open. I didnt feel anything move when i did that. So before i replace a 130ish dollar part how can i test the sensor to make sure that it is bad. Or is there something else that i am missing when trying to bleed the brakes? And i did try turning my truck on to use the brake booster to open the valve and still nothing. Also have a little mitivac hand pump and still no fluid either. Please help!!!!
