Need help!! Front brake bleeding
#31
Have you tried to loosen the connection at the master cyclinder? Like was said, the plunger inside might be stuck.
Being that it’s a 98, it might not be a bad idea to remove the master cylinder and just rebuild it for peace of mind. The little kit from HD has everything you need and it’s really simple.

Before you buy anything try doing a good caliper service. Remove the brake pads and clean the exposed areas of your pistons and try to push a little bit more out and clean that area too. Put some brake grease around the pistons and then push them all the way back in until their flush with the inside surface of the caliper.
Then flush your system again, reinstall your pads and see if you regain pressure. Sometimes the pistons get “off square” from the bores and this sort of resets them. If your having an extreme difficult time turning them or pushing them in, you probably do need to rebuild your calipers.
