just can't get them to bleed up.

the peadle goes nice and hard the after 2 or 3 pushes just goes floppy again.

Got a leak?

Are you bleeding them back to front, back to front, opposite sides?

you got the engine running when you do it

if not why not use a easybleed,,, though i prefer the rubber pipe with a nail in it

try and get the nipples to be at the highest point also if poss but need a easybleed for that
