RE: my brakes wont bleed any fluid
Well, what I'm saying, is that it can be done with one guy. If you bleed in the proper sequence AND long enough, you'll get the air unless you run out of fluid in the reservoir, have a leak in the system, or the hose sucks air back in the system because it wasn't imersed in fluid. But yeah, Two man is easier.

RE: my brakes wont bleed any fluid
my main problem is i cant any fluid to come out of the bleeders to even try to bleed them but they were working before a lil bit. I installed the whole brake system and never blead them but they were working good enough if i pumped them to get the car around the yard and in and out of the shop now there is all of a sudden nothin

You need to take off your master cyclinder, then put two rubber hoses that go from the outlets and then loop back into the reservoir. Then put the MC in a vise and with the handle of a good sized tool. Push the cylinder in a bunch of times to get all the air out of the MC. Then install the MC, then bleed the brakes. You can do it as a one man job, too. Connect a tiny hose to the bleed after it's cracked, then put the other end of the hose in a container that has brake fluid in it. Just make sure the end of the hose is always in the fluid so aire doesn't get sucked back up into the lines, etc...
