Well, I found a leak in the rear passenger brake, that's what was causing my brake issues. Now, I have 0 brakes!!! I bleed the brakes from rear to front, like 6 or 7 times and nothing. I had Tito pumping brakes and me bleeding brakes. I used a bleeder bottle so I could see the brake fluid and several air bubbles. Still nothing, any guesses/ suggestions? Wilwoods in the front and disk in the rear.

I finally got pissed and walked off. Never had issues with my brakes, always worked great.

Do you have dual circuit master?
Should just have to bleed the rear. Is the bleeder on the top of the caliper?

Adjust your shoes out so they are tight against the drum. Then try bleading.....
