Rear drum bleeds very slowly
I've fixed all my break lines now but one of my rear drums bleeds very slowly, after 10minutes there is fluid in the bleed line but not reached
the jar! Any thoughts as to what I am looking for to fix it?

Loosen pipe at the cylinder if it flow at a better rate before the cylinder ( from the pipe) it's the cylinder, if not, remove pipe at the other
end, T joint?
It's more than likely the cylinder but could also be a blocked pipe

Blocked bleed nipple? Remove the nipple and bleed the cylinder with your finger over the hole. Wear gloves, goggles, face mask, chemical suit, helmet,
tin hat, EMP suit, gimp mask, etc., if you think you'll get a face full of brake fluid.

If everything is new likely you have a fitting block by swarf.
If you have braided flex hoses then it is more than possible that one of the end fittings on the hose is not drilled through completely.
