Ford Ranger Brake line Problem

Replaced brake master cylinder and went to bleed brake lines and right rear will not bleed. Changed out wheel cylinder and shoes while that far in and still no bleed! Any idea where to go next?

Check for damage to the brake line, work back to see where pressure is lost. It is odd, but the proportioning valve may be bad. NOTE: I am assuming that you have pressure to the left rear.

Yes, there is pressure. Cant see any damage to line but will go back through though...next stop would be the brake line tee on top of differential housing...agrivating. Thanks
