Iv’e just bought a bike as a tiny project and it doesn’t have any pressure in the front brakes at all.
I took the Calipers of the forks and pushed the pistons back into posistion; put back onto the bike and hooked up a one way brake valve kit.
When attempting to bleed them no amount of pumps will release any fluid from the nipple although a small amount did come out when first loosening it.
Any ideas?

Okay so bleeding the master cylinder did the trick, got the fluid flowing, shit load of air as expected.
Problem now is fluid is leaking from the Caliper, can’t tell if it’s coming from the pistons, or the seam where either side of the Caliper meets.
Having said that I’d swear it wasn’t coming from the piston seals?
I’ve stopped bleeding as it’s pointless with more fluid leaking from the Caliper then what is coming through the nipple.
