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. |
