You can sometimes open the bleed screw and let gravity do the job for you,make sure there is plenty fluid in the reservoir,if not get someone to press pedal with bleeder open,hold down pedal,close bleeder,pedal up,open bleeder,pedal down,close bleeder,pedal up and so on and so on till you get a good pedal. Theycansometimes be very difficult to bleed and rid the system of air and a pressure bleeder may be your only option,good luck.
