Caliper won't bleed

.........I just finished installing new calipers and rear brake cylinders and bled the system starting with the master cylinder. Problem is, the passenger caliper won't bleed. No fluid will bleed through the bleeder valve. A buddy said the flex hose is collapsed. Any ideas? Thanks.........Zapr.

yup sounds like your friend is correct, could be something else, maybe a problem with the line some where, just trace the line from the master to the hose is everything looks good there pick yourself of up braided line, or just a replacment hose

.......Yep. You're right. That's what it was. Got the new flex hose put on and guess what? The other side wouldn't bleed anymore. Had to replace the driver side flex hose as well. Should have known better and just got both hoses at the same time. Everything is good now. Thanks for your help.....Zapr.
