Bleeding Brakes

This isn't a Geo, but I am at a loss. I am trying to bleed the rear brakes on a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500, but I have no pressure. I have been trying to bleed them for the past 2 hours, and I even bought a brake bleeding kit, but it won't work. I have absolutely no brakes, and it doesn't have any pressure to bleed.

Start undoing the connections from the rear brakes up to the master cylinder until you can get fluid to pump out. Sounds likely to either be a completely clogged line or a failed master cylinder. Or if you're lucky enough to have an ABS system, something in that may have failed.

An ABS bleed through a scanner capable of this feature will get the trapped air pumped into the outward lines and then it can be bled manually from there.

Can you bleed front brakes? You need to determine if the master cylinder is working and go from there.
