Rear brakes will not bleed

I replace the line from the prop valve all the way back to the calipers. I put in Earls SS lines at the flex points so nothing should be collapsing.

Anyway on Friday I tried a gravity bleed. I filled the resevoir and left it uncovered. I losened and later removed the bleed valve from the caliper. After 4 hours nothing had drained from the resevoir. Today I had my wife help me do the traditional pump the brake method and still no fluid would drain from the resevoir. Thinking that I had broken the master cylinder when I bench bled it, I took off the cover and had her push the pedal in which created a nice little gyser.

I decided to try the front brakes. Right now they are being gravity bled with no problem at all.

Any ideas on what I can do about the rears?

Well nevermind. It started bleeding now. Not sure what the problem was though.

It takes a while to fill all that tubing.
