Theirs your problem. The nipples should be at the top.... Swap the calipers around from side to side :thumbs:

i'm pretty sure no air is getting back in as i've got my brother to check while is pressing the pedal. The braided hoses are fine nought is leaking.

WIWC: the nipples are on top of the caplipers why u ask

I got spongyness when I used the one-man kit (electrical pressurised pump thing in my case) so then did it 'two man' and it worked fine first time this way.

Are the nipples on the top of the calipers?
Otherwise agree with Adam that air is gettin in somewhere, check the brided line connections.

Just fitted V6 brakes and calipers with braided hoses on the front, and been bleeding them in with new DOT4 fluid using the one man kit (with non-return valve fitted.) Also been doing it in the order specified by Haynes, starting with rear-left, front right, then rear right and finally front left, and have repeated this bout 10 times now.

Basically no matter how fluid i put in the resevior air seems to be coming out of the nipples and so there is no pressure being applied to any of the 4 brakes. Have put 2lts worth of fluid in now and fuck all is happening.

Brakes were fine before but now they ain't. Any help would be much appreciated as i'm very confused at moment.

PS its a Corsa B SRi 1994
