Check the steel line from the tee connection to the wheel cylinder. We
frequently find them crushed, usually by a tow truck operator with a great
steel hook.

Subject: [Mgs] Brakes won't bleed
Saturday I got the gumption to get back in the garage and work on my
'79 B again. I've had a few niggling things that needed addressed,
and one big one: The rear brakes would not get brake fluid to them.
I brought this problem up here before, and consensus pointed to the
brake master cylinder being the culprit. I installed a new master
cylinder and proceeded to retry bleeding the system. The fronts took
a lot longer than I would have thought, but eventually they spewed
air-free fluid. I was encouraged.
That didn't last long. The right rear still would not get fluid
after more than half an hour of pedal pumping. There *is* a short
column of fluid in the rubber tube I have hooked up to the valve, and
it is growing at an imperceptible rate. I have speed-bleeder valves
installed, so I don't think that little bit of fluid is a result of
gravity; I think *something* is happening, but it should not be
taking this long to pump fluid to the rear brakes, should it?
As if that wasn't enough, I noticed another problem while I was under
the car. I'll hit that in another post.
