Bleeding rear brakes no fluid or pressure
While trying to bleed the rear passenger side brake, no fluid or pressure.. I had my buddy pump only a couple times before giving up.. Do you guys think I need to just keep at it? All my lines are pretty rusty and I looked at my drums and the inside was rusted around the corner, looks like my back brakes never worked to begin with.

You have to consider that since it is the farthest away from the master cylinder, you need to give it a chance to build up pressure and send fluid down the line. If no fluid shows up after 5+ times of pumpx5, hold, open, close, then you possibly have a broken line, clogged junction block, or bad wheel cylinder.
Are there any visual leaks anywhere?

Open bleeder screw and remove master cap let gravity work it magic .Bleed as normal after fluid appears .While back there adjust them up.

Well I think you guys were right, I needed to let it build up pressure as I did put a whole new rear line in.. I also found a pinch in the rear passenger side line. Fluid is coming out of all the other lines except that one. Thanks for the help
