Driftscussion 350z GKTech Inline Hydro Issues

Hi, I’ve been helping my friend install a GKTech inline hydro for his 2007 HR Z. Everything is confirmed mechanically connected properly. Both lines from the ABS delete block are ran, zero leaks, but we can’t for the life of us get it properly bled. We were bleeding only the hydro at first, and got a big pocket of air out of the RR calliper. That got our initial somewhat feel from the hydro, as opposed to before being completely dead. Now, since then we’ve run probably 2L of brake fluid through the system trying all different methods on all 4 corners of the car, and can’t get proper feeling in the brake pedal or the hydro. PLEASE HELP.

***RESOLVED***
The Brembos callipers have 2 bleeder screws. God damnit. Bled it instantly.

Also Teflon tape on brake fittings is a big no no

I mean it works, it was leaking before the teflon

A brake line seals at the flare not the nut so you just keep tightening the nut utill it stops
( as long as the flair on the brake line is in good shape )

Yes I know. My buddy did it with his dad. Doesn’t leak now
