Default Ok I will try

If you don’t see the bleeder screw it may be covered by a little rubber ball pull the rubber ball off to bleed them if you don’t see that then someone has snapped the bleeders off and you will need new wheel cylinders.

Can you send in a pic or two?

so today I looked under the truck again. I noticed the right front passenger side wheel well seemed to be wet. So i turned the tire all the way and say a pair of vice grips sitting on the bleeder. Wow my buddy left the vice grips on the bleeder. All I can figure out is he tightened the bleeder down and forgot to take the vice grips off. The reason I say he tightened it and forgot to take it off is we checked the brakes in the garage rite then and there and tested them and pulled the tires and checked everything then tested them again. The right side bleeder was stripped pretty good so he used vice grips and forgot to take them off. I figure since the brakes worked for a day or 2 that the bleeder must of came loose because of the vice grips being on there and possibly contacting the wheels or it was just not tight the entire time. Either way hopefully this is it and it didn't do any damage to the master cylinder and all is well.
