After removing my front wheel with the old man hes pulled the brake lever pushing the pistons out therefore i have pushed them back and replaced the pads to ebc sintered ones.
i then bleed the brakes correctly but there is still air in the system as brake feels spongy as anything ive bleed them about 6 times straight yet still not working correctly. i have also been pumping it 3 times releasing the bleed nipple then pumping 3 times then holding it in while i close the bleed nipple.

is there something im doing wrong ?
and how do i get the bloody air out !
Are you only slightly opening the nipple? as sometimes if its opened up too much it lets air in, defeating the object.
I use this set up for bleeding the brakes, the syringe creates a vaccuum so no air can get back in. Plus you can back bleed it too.
Could be possible there's air in the resevoir part. take the cap off there's a little plastic cap covering the hole with little holes for the brake fluid to go through, when i changed my brake lines loads of air got stuck in there i had to spend like an hour and a half just flicking the front brake lever to free up the air
Cheers for the help guys ive bled them through but as you say i may be opening the nipple a little to much.
its getting better every time i do it going to do it again but just open the nipple slightly and pump it a fair bit before opening hopefully it works !!!!
