is the bleed nipple blocked? take it right out and see if it leaks fluid |

Good point, been a long day! They are new but could be blocked. I will try this tomorrow. |

I would not discount the flexible hose either. You can undo it from the caliper and see what comes out so as to rule the hose out. |

I had a couple of minor leaks else where and the air from my gunson self bleed kit was draining and not forcing through. Fully bled now! I have done a fair amount of work on the brakes about to test run very tentatively tonight. thanks for the response. Mark |

Where I did mine the nipples were corroded enough to 'drag' the thread inside the caliper and make getting them to seal impossible... I ended up using PTFE tape on the nipple threads which gave enough of a seal to be able to bleed them properly - of course when you nip them up the seal is made on the bottom of the nipple so using ptfe tape won't matter at all to that bit ...
