Trouble bleeding rear brakes-Fronts OK
Trying to bleed the rear brakes on a 99 GMC Jimmy. When the bleed screws are opened on the rear calipers the fluid barely comes out and the pedal is very hard to depress. The fronts are good. The rotors in the rear have rust on them so I know the calipers are not clamping the rotors when the brake pedal is depressed. Any ideas where I might have a blockage that is common to both rear calipers only?

Other than that, I'd probably try checking at specific points to see where the blockage might be. Disconnect line at caliper, disco at hard line... etc. Might not be the best way to do it, but probably what I'd do.
