I've got a '76 TR7 and I've just replaced the rear wheel cylinders on both sides. I was trying to bleed the system, but although pedal pressure improved when my assistant was pumping, I never got any air or more than a couple of drops of old brake fluid returned. Also, when I've done this in the past, as you open the system, the pedal falls towards the floor. I went and purchased a vacuum type system and again, got nothing back and the vacuum level never dropped when opening the bleed screw. I'm a little confounded and don't know what to check next. Should I unfasten the lines front and rear and try to blow the lines out with air? I also think I have power brakes on this car... Is it necessary to have the car running to bleed them if they are power assist brakes? Sorry for the stupid questions, but I swear I've done this before on other cars with no problems. Any help is greatly appreciated folks. Thanks.
