Been giving the WRR some TLC lately since its been in storage for nearly 2 years. I've got a set of Warp9 SM rims so I upgraded the rotor to a 320mm with new pads then attempted to change the fluids and hoses to braided lines. I've installed pads and discs before but this is the first time I've touched brake fluid/hoses.
I drained the front reservoir using a syringe and did the pump/crack open bleed nipple method until dry. Fitted hoses, torqued banjo bolts, filled reservoir but had to pump LOADS until fluid came out of the bleed nipple. Did the pump hold crack bleed nipple until there were no more bubbles passing through & tightened her up. Reservoir is topped up but lever is totally limp with no movement on pads. Same happened on rear. Had a look online for tips, tried opening top banjo bolt to release air...no air just some fluid seeped out. Also tried forcing fluid into caliper via bleed nipple using a syringe, no joy. What am I doing wrong??
