Rear Brake Frustration

Well here is what I have learned after 2weeks of brake frustration. The rear mc was bad and not pushing fluid even with a new piston. The corrosion had damaged the interior of the mc more than I could tell. With all the advice on bleeding, it bleed up very quickly after the mc was replaced. After days of initially being frustrated, I finally broke off the bleeder screw. Then I broke off the carbide extractor in the broken bleeder. So then I ordered a new caliper. I was in a hurry to get the bike running, so I paid overnight shipping twice. I now have rear brakes. I also have the most expensive rear brakes ever. Thanks everyone for the help.
