Screwed again :(

The next part of my brake saga.

I let the new front calipers fill first until no more air came out. Then I started a normal flush. Passenger side rear first, no problem.

But when I opened bleed screw on driver side rear, nothing came out

- I removed the bleeder altogether, still nothing.

- Poked a piece of wire through the bleeder opening. Still nothing.

- Slackened the flex hose connection on caliper a turn or so. Still nothing.

- Tried flexing the flex line, but still nothing.

All this with 20-25 psi on pressure bleeder.

So, it seems that either the flex hose or the hard line from tee is blocked. Or maybe the tee itself?

Anyone else had this happen?

I found another "problem" but will post it in the how to remove flare nut thread!
