There are brakes lines coming from the master. Which one or ones go to the rear brakes. I was thinking of just putting in a bleeder valve in place of them and say screw the rear brakes. They are all messed up and I cant stand trying to work on them and get them working. Just making me made. Any info would be great. thanks

BAD IDEA. Fix it right or don't drive it. You want to kill somebody (yourself included) or what? If you want some advice on how to do a proper SAFE repair just ask.

My front brakes are just fine. And I wont kill my self or anyone else. The rear brakes dont even work hardly as is. The one wheel cylinder is leaking and the other is locked up. The shoes are shit so the brakes dont even work really right now. I am doing this temp so I can get this to my work and then have some of the guys there to help me. So it will be fixed. But I need to drive it. I am doing this as an easy fix for a day or two. So please dont tell me I will kill someone. Im so pissed right now at the car and the rear brakes I want to kill some one. My front brakes are brand new and work great. I have been driving the car just fine with them. If you have no info to help me then please dont comment.

I have no intention of advising you how to do such a dangerous repair on your car. I did however offer some advice on your other post. You might want to check it out. Sorry I pissed you off more than you already were.

Well my idea wont work since the lines wont come off anyways. The car was really only working with the front brakes. And to be honest the Metros brakes stink anyways so it wouldnt matter hardly if there was rear brakes or not. They help im sure but really how much... But thats why im pissed. since the rears arent used much it took this long before they needed replaced. And now everything is rusted or stripped. Idk who worked on it before. But I have found many little problems with screws and nuts missing or stripped. I just have had so many problems with this car. And I fix something then something else happens a few days later. But something as simple as the brakes has to be this god awful job. It just makes me so mad. At this point in time i dont even want the car. But i have put so much time and money into it i also cant really get rid of it.

The brakes are a diagonal system (I think all brake systems are this way now). One "side" of the master cylinder powers the right front and left rear, the other "side" powers the left front and right rear.
