Robert,

Two things I would try.

1. Make sure you ave the bleeder open enogh turns to allow the fluid to flow.
2. Remove the bleeder and check thet the small hole in the tapered end is
not plugged -OR- replace it with one you know is clear.

two questions...

What happens if someone pumps the petal with a bleeder open?
Do you experience the same problem at all four wheels?
