Hey guys... was hoping you can help with this weird issue. I followed the directions to the T, pressurized bleeder to 15lbs, and started bleeding my rear passenger brakes. I turned the valve slowly, and the fluid starting flowing to catch bottle, but only for a little bit. I turned the valve even more but no fluid was flowing. I thought I needed to turn more so I did that, and still nothing. I think I turned too much, because a little brake fluid was coming out from the valve so I just tightened it back up and called it a day.

Did I mess up a step? It's been driving me crazy that I couldn't finish it since no fluid came out.

When I unscrewed the power bleeder cap from the brake reservoir in the hood, I noticed that the fluid was at the brim. Makes me think that the fluid was not flowing through to the system and was just "stuck" in the brake reservoir hence the fluid not flowing out of the rear caliper.

What would cause this?
