I'm not sure when they stopped using them, but there's a prop valve that will slide to one side and cut off the fluid in case of a major leak. It always wreaks havoc with people when they try to bleed one end of the vehicle. Look at the valve and see if it has what looks like a button on the end of it. If it does, it will need to be re-centered for fluid to pass through.
