help think I've been stung

[Mpathe]

so I bought some wilwood 4'pots off eBay fitted but never used and have had the brackets made so I thougt I'd bare the cold and fit them. all goes well until trying to bleed the last bleed nipple, I was using an eazi-bleed and I took the nipple right out and was getting nothing through it.
any advice would be thanks mike

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

common mistake when people fit these is that people fit them upside down so the nipples are facing down

 

[Mpathe]

their facing upwards so that's not the problem, can they get air blocked?

They may take a bit longer to bleed

Try the old 2 man bleeding

Take the calliper back off and fill it the best you can with fluid sometimes helps

I wouldn't do that tbh... over extending the piston in the master cylinder can cause damage to the seals on these... pressure bleed using something like a Gunsons Eezi Bleed kit is the preferable way to do this..

yep I've been stung
after trying for ages with an eazi-bleed and getting nothing through the last bleed nipple I decided to take the two pistions out of that side and to find the hole that links the two pistons together blocked so ive been well and truly bent over, w****r
I tried hitting an Allen key through but is jammed, so I'm in the process of putting the stds back on
