Hi guys completely stripped and resealed my front calipers on my nc35 and am having a bitch of a time bleeding them. Think i have an airlock in the master cylinder. Any advice on getting things going??

I crack the banjo at the master cylinder slightly and force fluid from there into a rag. The air lock is usually at the top where the hose connects, and this fix gets the fluid moving into the system. Also try squeezing the rubber hose to reservoir, as air sometimes gets trapped there stopping the fluid getting past.

I had to use a syringe attached to the calipers. I started near side then off side watching the amount filling in the master cylinder, syringing that as needed. Then once filled that way I bled as normal, top down.

I did this the other day, first time ever I had a set of brakes i couldnt bleed properly.. i bought a 1 meter tube of pvc aquarium hose as it was cheap and could cable tie it onto the bleed nipple.

holding it upso it was almost as level as the brake master i filled it with fluid till almost full then put a footpump with armband / dingy adapter on it wedged into the pipe and put a bit of psi in it and tapping the brake lever reverse bled the system, loads of air came out and then i tightneed the nippel, no play at all in the system now, best i ever got any brakes actually

Did this exactly only last week and it was a breeze for me; having a bleed niple on the Brembo master cylinder makes a difference!
Try what was already suggested; crack open the banjo bolt at the M/C and see if that helps.
Good luck!

You guys are nothing short of genius's
The syringe idea was just bloody brilliant and worked a treat. Thanks loads guys keep up the good advice!!!! Thanks again
