I ran into some trouble bleeding my '91 240 brakes. The car has front Girlings and is non-abs. I was unable to bleed the rears using the Motive Products power bleeder. I came back at it today, popped the bleeders and tried cleaning the bleeders and the holes, but nothing worked. Finally, after properly bleeding the fronts and realizing I shouldn't have introduced any air into the system while working on it with 15 psig on it, I had my daughter sit in the driver's seat and we successfully bled the rears the old fashioned way.

The car drives fine now and I'm wondering if this is typical or if my system has a serious problem. Any help is appreciated.
