Brake bleeding trouble

alright what am i doing wrong? Removed calipers(drained) on front to replace front suspension and spindles. Put all back together and now can't get air out. I have probably pumped 12 oz per side through still air in lines. the mc cap is on snugged but not completely clamped. Is that letting air in?

Re: Brake bleeding trouble

You might have to bleed the back wheels first. Start at the longest line, and work to the shortest. Make sure Your not leaking anywhere. I alway take the lid off of the mc, but im not sure if thats the right way or not.
