I got home from school today thinking that I'd finally get my roadster on
the road this weekend after it had been in the garage all winter. Since
I just got done working on the brakes all I needed to do was add brake
fluid and bleed out the air, put the drums and wheels back on, drop it
down and start it up. Things didn't go as planed. I got the front
brakes to work alright (are the pads supposed to rub on the rotor when
the brakes aren't engaged?), But the back ones won't move at all. I
think I got all the air out of the system, I didn't see anymore air
bubbles coming out of the tubing. Is the correct sequence to bleed
passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, and driver front? That's
the sequence I used. The rear brakes worked when I stored it five months
ago as far as I know although I don't know how well. They did at least
move. Now the rear cylinders won't move at all.
Could there be air in the system still?
Are the rear cylinders stuck?
Any advice or insight would be greatfully welcome. I want to get this
car on the road again. I think I'm going through withdrawal.

equipment)
