Hawk 250 - rear brake fluid not flowing
Loosened the rear brake bleeder valve and initially some brake fluid flowed out. Reservoir is up to the fill line. I take the reservoir cap off when I bleed the brakes to help drain the fluid out. I hooked up my MityVac and began trying to pump the fluid out as I'm changing out the banjo bolt for the hydraulic brake switch. Problem is, fluid is not flowing out, even when I depress the rear brake pedal. I've bled the rear brakes a couple of times in the past (I change the fluid out w/DOT3 once per year), and don't remember having any issues. There are no leaks anywhere, brake fluid looks relatively clean/free of debris.
What would be the most likely cause? Clog in a line or bolt somewhere?

Disregard...figured it out and it was obvious. Rear brake needed some serious adjustment, it literally wasn't pumping due to how the adjuster had been set up for the old brake pedal, which I just replaced. The new hydraulic brake switch works perfectly.
