    Take the banjo bolt and the line on the top of the rear caliper off, fill the caliper with brake fluid through the banjo bolt hole...Reassemble line and bolt...Fill rear master cylinder with fluid , then start over and try to bleed them as you would normally bleed the brakes....Pump the rear brake pedal 10-15 times and hold the pedal down, crack open the bleeder valve and quickly close it....Keep an eye on the fluid level , don't let it go empty in the bleeding process...GOOD LUCK...

    Ran into that the other day, front brake. The issue was the lever adjustment. If its too far in (tight) the fluid is blocked from going into the reservoir when you try and push it. I've seen this cause brakes to lock up when they get hot too.

    yeah I was able to blow through the nipple so it was ok. I did a regular bleed and it worked out ok. Just wanted to use my horse syringe again. I have a rubber line at the end of the syringe and it just about fits over the nipple so Im thinkin maybe a bigger inside diameter for a hose on the syringe anyhoots thanks for the shout back.
