Doesn't seem like that would get the air out of the wheel cylinders....and
that just means that the wheel cylinders are old....hmm...
Why not just redo the rears and have it done? We're talking about $50 in
parts here. Seems to me if the bleeders are that siezed the rubber on the
other side of that brake backing plate couldn't be much better. Food for
thought?
Just MHO.
