Default Brake bleeding problem....

Ok situ is, my cars been arse end up for a few months while I fitted my new rear end and supra diff, now I'm up,to the stage where I wana bleed the rear brakes...

I connected all the hoses back up and calipers, went to bleed them yesterday and the peddle won't go down to push the new fluid through with the nipples open etc etc. checked all the line while fitting by blowing through them but nothing's happening.

The car hasn't got the batt fitted, would this help by putting power to the abs, or have I a seized master cylinder or something?

Any help would be great.

As above you need power because you need ignition key on position 1 to power pump.
