Hi gang, new here and need some assistance. I recently had a metal brake line begin leaking. Well before i had the chance to replace it i kept the fluid topped off until i could repair it. Well in my haste i used power steering fluid instead, not much but it did mix. I now am having problems getting the system bled. I replaced the line form the front to the junction box in the rear. At this point I can get good fluid flow form the left front caliper bleed screw and the right rear bleed screw. I am getting no real flow form the right front and right rear (which is the line that needed replaced).


Did the power steering fluid possibly "gum it up", is there a direct relationship between the left front and right rear and likewise for the right front and left rear?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

My question you ask, is there a proper procedure for the bleeding the system,, such as left front, right rear, right front , left rear.

I have drained and removed or replaced the powers teering fluid (as much as possible)
