Hello my name is Dave.

My first question is, why you are needing to bleed your brakes? the reason might help us narrow down the reason why you aren't getting any fluid out of the bleeder. From what you said it's just the one wheel, if that is the case it would also help if we knew if it's a front or a back wheel. There are a few things you can go over regardless.

If you remove the bleeder screw completely does any fluid come out? It is common for the bleeder to get clogged so I would check that first. Are you losing fluid even though none is coming out? If you are not losing any fluid what procedure are you using to bleed the brakes? Here is a link to our tutorial on bleeding brakes:

If you are losing fluid while you are trying to bleed that wheel then we will need to find out where the leak is. If you can go through these steps and get back to us with the results we will be happy to help you narrow down your issue. We look forward to hearing back from you and thank you for using 2CarPros!
