Rear brakes wont bleed.

I was changing the tail lights and i was pumping the brakes checking if the lights were working. After that I pulled the car out and noticed I had hardly any brakes. I popped the hood to look at the brake reservoir and the gasket had swelled and there was some brake fluid on the ground. I bought a new gasket but I still had no brakes but there was no fluid leaking. I have bled the front brakes then I tried to bleed the rear brakes. A little fluid came out then nothing, I tried to pump the brakes and nothing came out what should I do now?

Re: Rear brakes wont bleed.

I'm just throwing a guess out there, but check your rubber brake lines. They can suck closed. I recently had that issue on my rebuild.
