544 brake bleeding hell 444-544 1959

Hi y'all,

I currently have "go" but not "stop" on my 544. I did have to replace the MC, seals, junction, and went ahead and did the brake switch as well since that was cheap. I also replaced three of the five hard lines as their fittings were fused to the old junction.

I stopped a seal leaking issue at the junction, and now I am trying to use a power bleeder on the rear right wheel cylinder and it is doing bupkis. The brake fluid in the remote reservoir isn't moving, in spite of leaving the pressure bleeder wide open until my little pancake unit runs out of steam.

I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do other than replace the remaining hard lines and the soft lines, even though the soft lines look recent. Advice? Commiserations? Step by step instructions on what to sacrifice to which eldritch god to get this to work?
