Make sure the front and rear of the brake res is full.

Make sure the right & left calipers are on their respective sides. They can be mounted incorrectly.

Is the bleeder on the top of the caliper?

Yes Tom you were right with your first post, the rear res was empty didnt realize it until I over filled the front and say the air bubbles and then noticed the fluid would slowly go down. Used my mighty vac and in 5 minutes I had brakes. You learn something new every day
Thanks for the help!!! Kchemers

It is a very common thing to miss. It is hard to see the rear compartment at first glance. Glad it was a simple fix for you.
