Bleeding Brakes!!!

Hi Jools,
I removed the banjo bolt and put my thumb over it after releasing pedal and it started to suck fluid in to the cylinder. So now its bleeding as it should. After bleed through about 2 bottle of fluid - STILL no pedal. So I gave up before damaging anything through frustration, had a beer and started again.
I bled it through literally once more and would you believe.....perfect!!!

Whats that all about. I love my bike but GOD IS IT FRUSTRATING!!!!!!

If your rear caliper is an underslung unit it does help to disconnect the torque rod and slide it to the top of the disc so any air can escape more readily. But pleased to hear you were successful in the end.
Cheers, Rob
