1986 oldsmobile cutlass supreme brake problem
 
hello ,well I thought I was done I changed the wheel cylinder's on both rear brakes one was leaking so I did both of them. just my luck my wife pumped the brake peddle before I could check the fluid in the master cylinder and the front part was empty or to low to pump . now I have the brake light on and no pressure on the rear seems like there is pressure on the front. the peddle will pump up but the fluid on the rear don't squirt out it just kind of seeps out. I have did brakes before and never had this happen.


where should I start the master cylinder or the Proportioning Valve .




Thank's for your help in advance..

Continue bleeding the brakes until fluid streams out of all wheel cylinders. Order to bleed: RR, LR, RF, LF

Been there too -lately!! I actually - disconnected the lines @ the master cyl!! to front & rear- bled master & then all wheels!! Found thru reading service manuals- bleed the pass side rear 1st!!!!!! Then Drivers next! then pass front next & drivers last!! furthest lines to shortest!! works fine now!!my 86 calis & 88 cutlass cars !! You will also have to adjust rear shoes (if equipped) to get any pedal feel also!!
