reverse bleeding?

If it wont bleed after reverse fill, it might need new seals on the plunger doins, the thing the lever pumps - cant remember the ruddy name of it now. Brake hose might even be goosed too, maybe worth investin in a braided hose, its meant to vastly improve front brake, which is pretty useless anyway

Reverse bleedin is fillin from the bleed nipple with a syringe kit
