Was the hose "clamped off" while you were swapping the caliper over?

I hope it clears out ok .... or otherwise you may need to incorporate one of the other methods mentioned where you use pressure to push the fluid into/through the master cylinder.

I'm sure someone with more experience/tips will be along later.

In the meantime ... good luck

John

As an afterthought .... try bleeding the N/S rear caliper first, then do the O/S again?

All the best.
Hi Yes, I did clamp the hose off. I have now run over 500ml of fluid and still getting bubbles

I will try the N/S/F but not sure what that will do as it has not been interfered with..
