Hi Paul They can be a pain to bleed sometimes, make sure the bleed nipple is on the top of the cylinder above the pipe. If not simply swap them round. Also worth checking behind the rubber dust cover on the cylinder for leaks, any cruddy white bits mean its past it best and needs replacing. Hope this helps
