need help bleeding my brakes

[jimmyFMX/BMX]

on both of my bikes the back brakes don't work. i have tried bleeding them and brake fluid come through and no air but they don't seem to get enough pressure to move the brake pads. also the pistons so move in the brake.

i know its probably something easy and you probably think i am clueless but i need some help

thanks

Try taking the caliper off the bike, and put it on the ground. Take the top off the master cylinder and push the pistons all the way back into the caliper (slowly). Any air trapped in the system should get forced out through the master cylinder. You might need to repeat the process a few times. If you're careful this method works. Make sure there's no kinks or loops in the line for air to get stuck in. You need the line to be as straight as possible.
