then its release brake lever,
open bleed nipple
squeeze brake to 3/4
close nipple
release brake.Once I only get fluid out of bleed nipple,,I do like ging6996 and jiggle the hose up to the top banjo bolts and blleed them,,i.e
undo banjo
squeeze brake
tighten banjo
release brake until only fluid appears,,
then finally check small hose to master reservoir for air by jiggling that...
god,,never typed so much ,,,stiff fingers now

Read this post carefully and compare to what you are doing.The above sounds like what I do,in that I open the nipple then squeeze the brake lever to expel fluid(and air),then close the nipple before releasing brake lever.I dont rely on non return valves from Halfords to prevent air sucking back into the system.
