That may be your best bet. Just go through everything and Start from square one. Let us know how it turns out.

Frustrating not being able to get my hands on it! Gotta be full of air if the master cyl isn't shot. When that front line went there is, I suppose a chance that tripped the proportioning valve. I haven't had that happen, and the rears should still bleed.....
Btw...I saw somewhere, some online FSM or a book, if it IS tripped all you do to reset it is stand on the brake really hard. I suppose you need to have hydraulic pressure since they mentioned some psi. figure you need to hit to reset it.

Could we infer that the rear bleeders are seized? If a 6 point won't get it, I've used Vice-Grips more than a few times. Yea, Yea, Bla Bla..It's something you toss in the can anyway. That works. Gotta clamp big ones on really hard.
If I couldn't get the bleeder loose to bleed it, yea, time for new. If it's not leaking and the piston's are free I'd spend my time/money on more new flex lines instead. If an "easy Bleeder" is one of those little check valves you use with your bleeder tube, just one will do.

FIRST OFF THINK YOU ALL!
really, think you guys for helping me i hope i can return the favor one day.
the jeeps all set and the post man has about $600 in parts for me
so soon
but for the breaks
i replaced both wheel cylinders and all bleeder screws with new ones, took the cap off the master and bleed the brakes with this!

the "one man break bleeder kit"
one of the best things ever and saved me alot of money, time, hassle
and now its back on the road, thinks again guys!
edit: also both wheel cls were froze one one side? odd...
