If you are getting flow out of the bleeder it could be that all the hydraulics are OK and the problem is the caliper. I assume the bleeder is on top but have to ask given my recent experience I would rather not explain.When you use a vacuum bleeder you need to make sure the threads on the bleed screw are sealed or you will pull air past the threads.Pull the bleed screw and seal the threads with teflon tape. Just make sure you don't get the tape to far in on the threads because you don't want it getting into the cross hole or seat area.

Hey lessonstar -
Yep, been through the routine earlier on in this issue.
I now have a larger MC on order - not looking forward to that job (my ARB Compressor and numerous other items have to be now taken out to do this job ...).
Like I mentioned before, the truck does stop - it’s just my foot has to travel pretty much to the floor - then when I get into my wife’s car, we both nearly go through the front window when I come to the first stop sign ! I don’t want to even mention the coffee she was sipping at the time .....

I’m gonna have at it this weekend - the last few days have been a right-off due to a week of night shifts ....
Lots of GREAT suggestions here - but at the end of the day it will be a new MC.
I’ll make it an early start on Saturday (maybe start pulling out my compressor on Friday night) and work on it until done.
I will let everyone know how I get on ....
