Default My brake doesn't work

I put on a new stainless steel brake line, and now my rear brake doesn't work. The holes in the bolts are lined up right, but when I tried to bleed the brakes, nothing would come out. Someone explain to me how they bleed the rear brakes please.

open the bleeder push on the pedal close the bleeder let up on the pedal. Keep doing this and you should get fluid after 8 or 10 times.

Still sounds like air in the line. For back brakes, you may need another persons help. Have them sit on the bike and pump the rear brake pedal 4 or 5 times. Hold the brake pedal down on the 5th pump and loosen the fluid bleed bolt. After the fluid bleeds, tighten the bleed bolt and repeat until air bubbles aren't visible....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

You may have to 'bench bleed" the line
disconect at the caliper...let fluid begin to drain out(cap off res.)and bolt back up

I had this problem with my stock lines. It just stoped working when I went to glamis. I took it to the dealer and he sayed you have to pump the pedal like 25 times. It takes a while. Hope this helps.
