Right,stupid question but you have opened the bleed port at the lever end yeh? Or take the plunger out whatever you have at the lever?
It’s an easy mistake and would stop oil going in to caliper
Easy and annoying/expensive mistake to make as trying to push oil into the caliper with the bleed port closed off can blow the diaphragm in the master cylinder, sends a wee spurt of oil out the end of the lever which arcs across the workshop and lands right on your brand new disc that you put safely out of the way, which of course you don’t notice until you have finished the bleed and refit the wheel and attempted to bed in the new pads on a disc rotor covered in mineral oil.! (please note, this is a theoretical scenario and in no way reflects real-life events.!, honest.!)
You then need to quickly source a new lever 2 days out from an event or pull the lever apart to super glue the diaphragm back together.!!
