On tapping tube that connects the resevoir to the master cylinder I got bubbles in the resevoir and a firm brake lever. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Im doing this after a brake overhaul & with new pads. So in effect its almost like a whole new system again. I will take my time (like i usually do). Pretty sure the reverse bleed will work. Im just wondering wether i should 'prime' each caliper 1st. eg. push brake fluid through from the bleed screw to the hole where the banjo screws into, but keep the banjo loose until the fluid comes out then torque it. I'm sure i read that this was a good method to use for the rear considering there are areas wher the air can trap due to the 'snake' like path the hose takes up to the reservoir.
