Re: bleeding brakes 1 side no fluid???
Unless the rear brakes have been converted to discs, there are wheel cylinders back there -- not calipers. At any rate, the rear brakes share a single line to the differential. A T-fitting splits to a hard line to each side. You had fluid to the passenger side so the problem is between the T-fitting and the drivers side brake. Try disconnecting the hard line where it goes into the wheel cylinder (or caliper, if discs). If you have fluid there, the problem is within the wheel cylinder (or caliper). This assumes there is still adequate fluid in the master cylinder. Any chance it ran dry after bleeding the pass. side?
