What kind of brake fluid does a Jeep Wrangler use?
The manual says to use DOT 3 brake fluid. I’m not sure how much to use, the manual does not mention that. How much fluid you need really depends on how much you lose when replacing the brakelines. I would try to cap off the brake line at the body as best you can while you are switching out brake lines.
Why is no brake fluid going to my back wheel?
OK—braking was very weak—when I pulled the back drivers wheel –I saw brake fluid coming out of the wheel. cylinder and some fluid on the brake shoes. I disconnected the brake line behind the wheel and not much fluid came out.
What to do when your rear brake is bleeding?
Once it’s reset the fluid should return to the rear wheels. Pump and push gently while bleeding the rear brakes. [quote=”wysetech” post=79355]Sounds like the proportioning valve is blocking the fluid to the rear wheels. Sometimes this is hard to correct.
Is there any fluid in my brake bleeder?
Had the wife pump till tight and hold, cracked open the bleeder and got fluid/air. Repeated the process and I get nothing….repeated the process 4 or 5 more times and got nothing. Tried the rear drivers side and got nothing. Did the front and was able to bleed both sides successfully.

Can you get brake fluid to the rear brakes?
However, we could not get any fluid to come out at the rear brakes. So we closed the rear bleeders and worked on the front brakes, bleeding them individually and the process went well. Then, underneath the van, we disconnected the brake line that was going to the rear brakes.
