08 Rear Brake Bleed

I feel really stupid for having to make this thread, I checked the owners doc and all it says is it is "difficult". I did the front brake with no problems at all, I reverse bled it with a syringe with some clear tube on the end, I could physically see that no air bubbles went in but when I finished I now have no brake at all. They worked fine before, I only changed the fluid because it was really discolored.

My only idea I have at the moment is there is air in the line at the high point before the master cylinder?? I have locked the pedal down overnight in a hope that the air can escape, but given there is a high point in the system I guess this is unlikely. I was going to keep playing with it but I ran out of brake fluid, there's not much in those small motorex containers. Is it easier to bleed from the reservoir by forcing it through with a syringe rather then reverse bleeding?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Far out I'm a dunce. Got some more fluid after work and had a look at it. This rear brake is possibly the easiest one ever to bleed. I stuck a tube on the end of the bleed nipple and ran it into a catch can, I lockwired it there so it wouldn't leak. I looked in the reservoir and a syringe fits snugly in the hole in the bottom. You can just pump it through the system with a syringe no worries at all, got all the air out (was alot more then I expected) and it works like a charm. Saves all the pumping, you can just lean over and crack the nipple and push the syringe, locking it off while you still have positive pressure.
