84 camaro. I couldn't get the old calipers to bleed so I figured it was them. I replaced them and now the new ones will not bleed either. I replaced the master cylinder and still nothing. No fluid comes out of bleeder. I even disconnected the line from the caliper and still no fluid.

My brake Pedel is also too hard to even press. You can't even push it down an inch when the car is off. With the car on and idling it moves a little but it still is too hard and still no fluid coming from lines.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I have had a simular ( kindof) problem where brake caliper wouldn't decompress. Just locks on rotor. I can manually decompress it, but when I bleed nothing but air comes out. All other brakes work good. I was also told was rubber hose. But changed it and same probwlem. Therefor it has been just sitting since last june

I had a simalier problem, though certainly not as extreme, it was caused (it seems) by kinked metal lines, i would recommend changing a couple to see if that changes anything.
