wilwood brake bleed

Yesterday I tried to bleed my Wilwood Dyna Pro brake, when I bleed I loose the top two bleed nipple but the brake padel is very hard, I tried to loose all 4 nipple the padel feel is still very hard. Anyone have idea what's going on? Thanks for the help.

if you just installed them, i'd check the brake lines to make sure they aren't twisted or kinked. of not kinked or twisted i'd remove the brake line from one caliper at a time to see if any brake fluid drips out. if no fluid drips out then somehow you got a restriction in the line. if fluid is dripping out then theres something going on with the caliper itself, but it sound like your not getting anything to the caliper.

i dont know much about the wilwood setup but i can't imagin its to much different from any other system.

Bleeding is by way of the top only. As stated; fluid should flow freely at the hose.
