So, I've emptied all the fluid out of the rear brake system, cleaned it up a bit, and stuck it back together.

Now trying to bleed the system and get the air out, and the fluid wont pump through from the master cylinder.

Discuss?

(I need to get this fixed quicksnap)

Well, after spending about 2 hours pumping the brake lever, we finally bled the system and pushed the pistons out (which was the intention).

Just keep pumping guys!

Put a pipe on the bleed nipple and suck on it. Drawing the air out pulls the fluid through, otherwise the air just gets compressed.
