If you have tried all the usual methods and they still don't work try these:
1.sometimes you have to crack open the bolt that connects the brake line to the caliper as air can be trapped there, do the same as you would with the bleeder nipple to pump it out.
2. Buy a large syringe ( I got mine from a vet) that you can fit to the plastic hose you attached to the bleeder nipple, fill the syringe with brake fluid, crack open the brake line bolt at the master cylinder, open the bleeder and pump the fluid in till you see it coming out then close it.
3. Sometimes the master cylinder needs priming. This is the front brake handle bar end. Disconnect the brake hose then tilt the whole lot back at about 45 deg angle, leaving just enough fluid to cover the holes inside, then pour fluid into the outlet, reconnect the hose and pump away.
4. Some or all of the above may be necessary
Good luck, Russell
