Just replaces rear brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and drums. Replaced both rear brake lines. From front to rear. The passenger rear bled fine the drivers rear and passenger front, I get no fluid out of at all.
Can't find any leaks in the system. No idea what to check....can anyone help??

Maybe take the bleeder right out of the dry side and see it it's blocked up with something. You should be able to blow compressed air thru it.

That or try vacuum bleeding to get that one going. Sometimes since I didn't see a master cylinder on your list they fail by just pumping to the floor or with a line failure where you lost all pressure it can tear up the seals inside passing into a crusty area it hasn't been to in ages and fail to work well?

This is likely a cross bleed system so you have one half of your master that hasn't built pressure yet. Try removing the line at the master and pump the pedal slowly while lightly holding your finger over the port. Then hook the line back up and bleed the wheels.
