bleeding brakes
 
Hey folks, I'm new to the forum, although I've stopped in to browse from time to time. This past weekend I decide to take on the job of replacing the front brakes on my 2002 CL type S. The hardware was replaced successfully (pads and rotors), but when it came time to bleed the brake fluid I ran into some issues. The first being that I bought a very cheap vacuum bleeder kit. It's junk and will be returned to the auto parts store. Yesterday I bought a better one, it seems to work okay, but all I get is a very tiny trickly of fluid through the tube. I have watched endless amounts of youtube vids on the process and they all show the finished process having a solid steady flow of new clean fluid through the tube. After hours of pumping, I'm still nowhere close to that and seem to be pulling less fluid each time I open the bleeder valve. Could it be a clog in the system somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.
