bleed brakes

ok i will give that a try but i loosened the banjo bolts to the calipers until i seen fluid come out and then i finger tighten them. i pumped it up and then bled them and fluid was comeing out and it done this for a while. then finaly i was getting nothing out of the bleeders. i dunno what the deal is
fill the ressi, and just pump for a few. Then open the nipple (while holding down on the leaver) for a sec then close and pump again, then open and close again(again only open if you are holding down the leaver). Repeat the entire process as needed. and dont the ressi go dry. This is the way i did mine last week. took me about 20-30 min to get all the air out. when you start to get liquid out, leave the nipple open until the flow almost stops.
yeah, open the bleeders don't leave the banjo bolts open, or you'll just be sucking air in. make sure those are tight. and then just fill up the reservoir and open up the little bleeder nipples. make sure to put a drain pan or something under them to collect any fluid that comes out
thats what im doing now and im getting no where. i pumped it a couple times, while holding the leaver down i opened the nipple, i did this over and over and nothing is comeing out the nipple.
hmmmmm are talking front or rear here? and is everything else tight? cn you see fluid anywhere at all?
everything is tight and i dont see any fluid anywhere. when i first put it togethere i had to put my mouth to the bleeder nipples and suck the fluid through and then some fluid started to drain out the nipples, i kept repeating it and then no fluid were coming out. i dont get it man
i took the master off and dumped all the old out and then re filled it, when i pumped it without the brake lines on, a tiny bit would come out the master.
i solved my bleeding issues. i used and oral surenge which a frined had givin me and a clear fuel line. i filled both the surenge and fuel line with brake fluid and put it on the bleeder and took my master cylinder cap off. i forced the brake fluid through the caliper, lines and out the master cylinder. for a while nothing but bubbles would come out. finaly started to notice some stiffness in the brake lever, so i started bleeding the brakes and now i can do stoppies
