Default bleeding a new brake system

Ok so i have a brand new brake system. everything is brand new on my brake system. So i did the bench bleed on the master cylinder and that went great. I went to bleed one caliper just to check for leaks and i found one leak at the proportion valve. Fixed that. went to the rear passenger side with my mini vac plugged it all in and cracked open the valve and i must of sat there for about 10 mins and nothing was coming out. i tried the reverse bleed and got in about 45cc of fluid and locked it but then i noticed that no fluid filled up in my master cylinder. what am i doing wrong? i am going to have my wife pump the brakes for me today to see if that helps but figured the mini vac for the brake system would work just fine.


for those who don't know what reverse bleeding or back feeding is here is a link for it fast forward to 2:45 and he shows you what i mean
