Front brakes!!!!!!Question
On my 636 I cannot get the brakes to bleed. Gets a little pressure, no more.
I got a right side caliper flipped upside down, for the left caliper. Would that not let it bleed and get pressure?
And does it matter what line goes in 1st to the right caliper?
Power bled them and can't get nuthin

No, its a stock 636 front master, but which line goes into the caliper 1st? off of the master

You sure the master is good? Last few times I couldn't build any pressure it ended up being a bad master

I pretty sure its good, cause it would blow fluid out hard where the line goes into the master. But I think flippin the caliper idea should work, its prolly got a ton of air sittin in it upside down. Thank Debo.

How are you going to pump the master with the calipers off the forks?

Re: Front brakes!!!!!!Question
Aren't you gonna lock up the calipers?

The reason the calipers are different each side is so the bleeder is up top, this lets the air rise and then makes it easy to come out when you bleed. Flipping it upside down puts the air at the bottom and makes it hard to get out. I would try flipping it and then bleeding it.
