If it is one of the front brakes... my guess is a front brake hose. They have been known to collapse internally.

It is also common for the bleeder screws to plug up and not allow fluid to pass when cracked open.

Rear passenger brakes screws look good

You most likely have a frozen wheel cylinder.

So you have fluid at one rear wheel and not the other?

It would have to be a blockage in the line... there really isn't anything else it could be.

Last year I set to revive a BII that sat for 16 years. When I got to the brakes I had no fluid getting to the rear. Both sides rebuilt. Both bleeder open. I could only get a drop or two to come out. Fearing rupturing a rusty line, I hesitated standing on the pedal but finally put both feet on and smashed it. What ever was blocking it finally came loose and my feet hit the floor. Bled clean fluid through it and all has been fine since. My point being they can block up. Keep us updated. I hate stories with out an ending.
