Brake Bleeding problem still

[Honda#4]

Well finally after it warmed up I started to bleed my brakes, now last month I tried and they would not bleed so I bought a MC rebuild kit got installed and so today and yesterday for about 2 hours I tried bleeding them but I can't get no response at the MC, there were air bubbles coming out of the calipers but the very last time I did it there werent any and I still cant feel any pressure at the handle.

WTF is wrong?

Sounds like you have an air lock. IF you don't have a vaccum bleeder, fill the MC up and loosen the brake lines at the calipers. Pull the lever and hold it all the way back, when the brake lines start dripping fluid tighten them back up and bleed normally from the caliper bleed screws.

I had the same problem. I ened up getting a vacuum bleeder and that made it a snap.

Thanks guys, i've had it up to my neck with this brake bleeding crap,just about used 12ozs so doing the whole thing.

get some clear tubing and put it over the bleeders. Then suck the fluid through. It works great i did mine in 10 minutes after i installed new brake lines.

I'll try 08400ex's idea first if that dont work I guess i'll have to buy a vaccum bleeder.
