Need help with my 1997 ford ranger rear brakes

[Mist]

So i just got done replacing the rear drums including the brake lines to the drums along with the main one that leads up to the front of the truck. My problem is that for some reason im not getting any fluid to the rear drums. im not even getting fluid to the rear line as i disconnected the rear line and had pumped the brakes. i don't know what could be wrong as the brake light on the dash is also on.

would you know any workaround for it? they seem to be expensive and i really don't want to purchase a new one

If you just disconnect the line and pump the brakes you will not get fluid coming out. You push the pedal in and fluid is pushed a little into the new line and when you release the pedal, it just pulls the fluid back towards the master cylinder and you suck air in from where it is disconnected. You need to connect the brake line and get someone to help you bleed the brakes or get/make one of those one-man brake bleeding kits.

Dumb question, but is the master cylinder working?
