(Home) Brakes rear load valve

I have no breaks on the back ot my 1989 townace. I have taken it to bits today and tried to bleed them is there a load valve or simular device as i can't get any break fluid to come out at the rear pistons. Has anyone got any ideas please.

there is a load valve, yes, and it's linked to the axle, so if you jack the car up, no rear brakes...
And there's a bleed nipple on it too.
Centre of the car, follow the rod on the top of the diff forward

Can anyone help please. I've got no rear breaks on my 1989 Townace. I have stripped it down today. Is there a load valve or simular device as i can't get any break fluid to come out of the rear pistons.
Thanks John H

john,
the space cruiser has a load sensing proportioning and by-pass valve bolted to the rear axle, i assume this is the same on the townace.
