Hi Everyone,
I'm working on a 71 Chevelle with factory front disc/rear drums.
I was bleeding my brakes after noticing they were feeling very mushy and would go to the floor from time to time.
I started in the right rear and no fluid came out when I loosened the bleeder valve.
Then I moved to the left rear and that one would bleed, so I did the rest, minus the right rear.
I hopped in the car and the pedal goes almost to the floor before engaging the brakes. I checked the master cylinder and there was a gunky build up in it. I'm assuming the rear line is clogged, but I'm not 100% sure. What can one do to unclog a brake line?
Also, before this procedure, it seemed like the rear passenger wheel would stick when braking for speed bumps. Thanks for your help.
