bleeding brakes need help!!

Last night I was bleeding my brakes because of removing the ABS. I started with the rear right side. A buddy pumped that brakes and then when I open the valve, fluid came out, but the pedal did not go to the floor and the rear caliper did not grab the rotor. This happens on both rear brakes. The front go goes to the floor with no problems. Also I have LS1 brakes all the way around that was put on a while ago. Dose anyone have any Ideas???



Thanks



Joe

i think it's cos the rear brakes are operated by the first part of the servo and the front by the second ie 2 sliders in 1 tube with a spring in the middle when you put ur foot on the pedel while bleeding it pushes the slider forward against the front brake slider (against the spring)if the system is bleed at the rear and the front has fluid the pedel will only go as far as normal application of the brakes stopping the pedel going all the way down and is normal .......guess the question is....dose it stop!?

When bleeding the rear the pedal does not even move when the valve opens, but fluid comes out.

not sure of the system but do they have a compensator(?spelling) valve in the system? we don't have them over here but my old camaro had one and it was a pain to bleed, had to keep the button pressed in to keep the shuttle from blocking that side of the system
