Hi guys, recently i've just replaced one of my flexible brake hoses and lost ALOT of fluid, so i got myself a bleeding kit and some fluid so i could flush the system and get all the air out.

Everyone has said how easy it is but I just seem to be having so much trouble.

I have a diagonal split master cylinder

I follow the sequence in the haynes manual and use a 1 way brake bleeding hose attached to the bleed nipples but i just cant seem to get the air out. On the front brakes the fluid comes out really well, and i am so sure that it's working, but on the back brakes, hardly any fluid comes out.

Ayone got any ideas?

The car is on level ground and the handbrake is not applied. Could it be air in the master cylinder?

Thanks everyone
