Default Ltz400 rear brake issue....

Hey guys im new to this site but i thought i'd give it a shot... i've been trying to fix my rear brake on my 2003 ltz400 for the past 2 weeks and i haven't had any luck with it... i bought the rebuilt kit for my master cylinder and installed that.. i bought new rubber seals for the caliper drum and replaced them... i also took the caliper apart completely and cleaned it fully, the drum now moves freely with no problem.. i also took the brake lines and blew air through them to make sure they weren't clogged.. after i put everything back the issue im having is that i try to bleed and bleed the brakes and never get any pressure at the caliper.. i have a feeling the my master cylinder doesnt send fluid and pressure but like i said i rebuilt it so everything is new in it.. can anyone please help me resolve this issue.. thanks...

Most important thing to remember is bleed the brakes closest to master cylinder first then work your way out to the farthest. Also I have rigged up a rubber gasketed metal plate with an air chuck attached. Crack the bleeder screws and add just a LITTLE air pressure to start the fluid down the lines. Good luck
