Went to bleed brakes after magnus CMC install....

I'm using a vacuum bleeding, syphoning it from the individual calipers but all it seems to do is pull air. I bled the new CMC and slave cylinder without a snag. But now that I've attempted the brakes I can't get any fluid.... just moving air it seems... reservoir doesn't change either.

Any input would be appreciated!

It almost seems like air is leaking around the fitting, rather than siphoning through the brake master cylinder.

Op, try bleeding the brakes using the 2 person method, it worked perfect for me.

Yea..... I may give that a try, just need a second body for that. Or splurge next day air on a motive bleeder. Ugh.

If any one else has an idea for my problem than the one i mentioned please add your input.

Ordered a Motive 0107, it will probably be here tomorrow so I'll give an update afterwards.

Turned out the Motive was the Hot Ticket! What a breeze, my mightyvac sucked.... air. But the Motive bleeder was awesome. Highly recommended.
