Disconnect your rear brake lines from the calipers and see if you get fluid draining out of them. The rears are on two separate circuits. Right rear and left front are on the same circuit and left rear and right front are on the other. If you have fluid coming out of the lines then there may be a blockage in the caliper. You could try and pull the bleed screws out and let the car sit for a while and see if the calipers start to gravity bleed.

Ok I took the bleeders off and let it sit for several hours..... Nothing. Then I pulled the rear lines anklet it try to gravity feed for a couple of hours. I only got a couple of drips out on each line. I also tried to bleed the brakes using the brake lines instead of the bleeders ... Nothing it's like the brake pedal is doing nothing to the rear brakes.... U can here the front moving when I get my wife to press them but nothing is happening in the back... Please help I need to get this car bach on the road...... Thanks Pillar

I use a vacuum pump with good luck. Haven't used it on the C6 yet.
