Default Problem bleeding my brakes. Help!
I went through bleeding my brakes on my C4 the proper way. Furthest brake caliper blah blah... But once I got to the closest (Front Left) I would have someone pump the brakes and release the brake fluid but nothing would come out. I need help ASAP
Thanks

Tried removing the bleed screw entirely? If so suspect the rubber line caliper to metal line at the chassis.

Or a pinched steel line.

IIRC, the '87 FSM says RF, RR, LR, LF.

Good point about the steel line.

Also I think that order is the same for all ABS C4s
