i just took my resivior off to paint it and when i put it back on i had no front brakes. so i bleed the line and had a little front brake. someone told me to put a cup on the ground with a hose coming from the bleeding screw and bleed it that way. so i hooked it up (i did one side at a time)pumped the brakes a couple of times. then i would open the screw and pull the brake in hold it in. then i would tighten the screw back up and release the brake. i did this to each side about 15 times a piece and my brakes are still spongy and wont work for crap. i made sure to use the right fluid and kept the resivior full the whole time. when i cap the resivior i fill it as close to the top as i can (could this be the problem) without spilling all over the sides of it. y wont my brakes work?
