Can't bleed front brakes bomb dead

[jimmcf]

As the title says i can't bleed the front brakes, tried a gunsons pressure bleeder nothing at the nipple tried to bleed it just by pumping the pedal nothing at all, pedal is rock hard and my bomb is dead, would having a dead bomb (3 or 4 pumps and the warning light is on) prevent you from bleeding the brakes.

any btdt / advice

no bomb is just for the assistance(soft feel) try removing the nipple ,they block up with rust..failing that front flexi hoses could be knackered

The bomb doesn't effect the brake bleeding,
How are you trying it manually?

when it happend to mine it was the mater cylinder

I tried both the pressure bleeder first at 20 psi and then manually, when doing it manually i couldnt even press the pedal

thats because no fluid is exiting the caliper..remove the nipples and try again...
if that doesnt work loosen the brake pipe at the flexi to see if fluid comes out

thanks for that will have a look tomorrow, if i can't fluid out at all then what???
