Not understanding what you're saying... you're loosening the bleeder screws but nothing's coming out?

If you loosen the bleeder screw, if you wait a minute or 2 it will gravity bleed and start coming out the bleeder. When I do this, I usually just take the bleeder out just... because.

get a pal to pump up on the brakes and build up pressure then open the screw while he pushes the pedal down then close the screw and let him build up pressure again... repeat until clean fluid comes outYour signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Sometimes the bleeder valve will get clogged up a bit. Just open it and use a paper clip to clear it out.'91 318is

When you say "it will bleed before it", is it before the between the caliper and the ABS pump or before the ABS pump ?
I had a similar problem - turned out to be the ABS pump. With the ABS pump replaced, I got it to bleed. Another symptom was, the left front caliper wasn't braking at all or was very ineffective. I went through the brake pad on the right side (HPDE) and the left pads were not used at all.
Ofcourse, as others said, it could be a clogged bleed screw too or something else :)Comment
