Can not bleed brakes (one side).

[rfmaster]

As the title says I can not bleed front passenger side on my 75 C20. Over the last couple of months I've noticed that truck pulls to the left when brakes are applied. Since I drive my truck sparingly (on weekends) I thought that my caliper seals is gone and caliper is leaking. Got some re-mfg calipers from Napa and new pads for both sides (kept brake hoses since it looks like it is a PITA to R&R without a lift) for this straight forward refresh brake job. Surprisingly, both caliper seals were dry. Swapping calipers was a simple 10 minute job, but bleeding brakes turned into an 2 hour adventure. I started with passenger side - could not get a drop of fluid with my vacuum MitiVac. Driver side bleeds without a hitch - fluid was draining as it should be. I tried priming right side caliper with brake fluid - MitiVac promptly sucked it dry. Disconnecting brake hose at caliper and applying brakes couple of times resulted in no brake fluid - Master cylinder was full!

I feel a bit dumb founded - what I am missing??? Do I have cracked right side brake line? Caliper hoses appear in good shape and dry (it there a trick way to R&R hoses?)

Need some advise here - please. (The job will have to wait until next weekend - it is 96+ here!)
