What happens if you drive a car without brake fluid?
Not having brake fluid in your car won’t destroy the brakes, but whatever you hit when the brakes don’t work will likely be destroyed. The fluid operates under high temperatures and high pressure and, without it, your car would not be able to stop when you push the brake pedal inside your vehicle.
Why is no brake fluid coming out of one wheel?
If there is no brake fluid to one wheel or one caliper won’t bleed, it might be because the calipers fault its sliding pins. The solution is to replace them. Also, check for any leakage in the oil seal of the brake caliper pistons.
How can I get brake fluid out of my back wheel?
Somebody mentioned this before, but you can fill the master cylinder, open the bleeder screw on each side and wait, fluid will flow through the lines and out after a while, then you can bleed normally with the pedal to get out any trapped air if needed. I use a vacuum pump to bleed the lines, really works.

Why is brake fluid not going to two wheels?
The next concern is some master cylinders have a valve inside that trips to block fluid flow to one or two wheels when a leak develops, as in a rusted steel line or ruptured flex hose. That prevents a total loss of brake fluid.
