nipples always get ya in trouble

If the pedal continue to sink then in my experince its more likely the brake vaccum booster than the master cylinder. U will prolly find the reason ur rear brakes wont bleed is coz either A. The wheel cylinders have seized(not uncommon on a car of that age) or B. the nipples are full of dirt. Try removing the nipples completely and see if brake fluid comes out then. Let us know what happened

They wouldnt bleed fluid great though. Thinking bout it id say the nipples are all clogged up and id remove the nipple completely and see if fluid came out.
