Hey guys fix one thing and something else goes wrong. Anyways i was driving and i gues one of my rear break pad fell out anyways long story i put new breaks in both sides but i think i bled out all the lines and theres no break pressure. What could i do to fix this is there a clog or what cause theres no fluid going to the rear brakes like i can open both the nipple and the bleeder and nothing comes out. So what should i do to fix it?

Gotta bleed the master cylinder before bleeding the lines. I learned that the hard way the first time.

yeah gotta bleed the master cylinder first then the calipers. Go back, bleed the master cylinder then rebleed the calipers should fix the issue.

The brake master cylinder is under the hood, where you put the fluid in.

Why do I get the feeling the OP bled the brakes without keeping the master cylinder filled while doing so?

Yeah get a haynes manual and take a look at the Bullitt Archive bro, you will be able to fix this but you should have done more research before starting the task. And how does a pad fall out?
