Bleeding the Brakes.....Help!!!!

[Vader 87]

I installed my line lock today and im all done except for bleeding the brakes......with ignition ON i had a buddy push the brake, then i loosened the fitting....air/fluid comes out, i then tighten it and he releases the brake.....ive done this over 20 times now and im still on the right rear wheel...at first it was spitting mainly fluid....now its nothing but air, air, and more air.......however, i did totally empty the front left brake line but would it hold all this air??? WHATS THE DEAL???? Damn it, i got a track date in 3 days!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

p.s. i checked for leakage around all the new fittings etc...i didnt see anything and the reservoir has plenty of fluid in it.

Not sure, but did you use something to hold the proportioning valve plunger in while you did this? I don't know if it would cause this, but that's the only thing I saw not mentioned that might be the culprit. I assume that the fluid resevoir is still full and you didn't accidentally bleed all the fluid out of the resevoir...

reservoir is full......however, when i push the pedal down....some fluid will seap out of the back reservoir.....like its under too much pressure or something. the cap is on their right......

Like taz says, push in the proportioning valve plunger first. Then it should flow nicely. It's in a place that a wooden door stop would work real good to hold it open. Crawl under there and you'll see.
