    fill the tube your using with fluid befor anything... then loosen the nipple off a little bit and just slowly tickle the lever. will feel when theres pressure in it an then you pump full strokes on the lever, slowly but smoothly. once it resists with no bubbles tighten the nipple then tickle the lever and the pressure will fully come back.. if it doesent whip the caliper off, pump it so both pistons come out, hold the caliper with the nippe at the most vertical point and slowly loosen, press the pistons in and air will come out. then tighten and repeat

    if the pistons are close to the disk tighten up the nipple and quickly pump the brake lever a verry small distance for a long time. foam will come up into the resivoir

    Another way to get a result is to pump the lever a few times THEN quickly open and shut the nipple. The master cylinder on these bikes is like a Rat's willy, it doesn't move a lot of fluuid in one go like a car cylinder.

    you've done the 'difficult' bit so its simple...

    leave the lever pulled in overnight (use some overcomplicated holding device if you wish; laccy band) and... magical working brake in the morning.

    *allows remaining 'foam bubbles' to rise through system*
