Hi
had a problem with seized brakes - front twin disks
1 stripped master cylinder checked rubbers etc cleaned and rebuilt
2 stripped the 2 twin seized callipers freed cleaned rebuilt
3 put it all back together
4 the handlebar lever was soft and spongy - obviously - air in system
5 tried to bleed the system - the lever is now rock solid - but no fluid at the bleed nipple and the

brakes dont work and the wheel turns

do you think its a blockage - any advice welcome
regards
