Fitted a new rear wheel clylinder to estate this week,all went well till it came to bleeding the brakes 
rigged up me bleed pipe and pot got Shirley to do peddle pumping ;D Opened bleed nipple shouted down to pumper,Nothing. Gave it several goes still nothing Ah ha I thought bleed screw blocked took it out ,clear as a bell,gave it a go without bleed screw in still nothing.
After several mins pulling whats left of my hair out decided to call it a day and try again later.Removed brand new cylinder for inspection only to find no hole for bleeding under bleed screw!!!!!! It had not been drilled out.
In all my years I have never come across this before so if you have to change one it's worth checking under bleed screw first that there is a HOLE in it.
Has anyone come across this problem before?
??
It was not a cheepy.
P.S checked rear no plate fixing first but it did'nt help ;D ;D ;D ;D
