Brakes will not bleed

I went to change my brake pads, realized that the rear calipers had ceased so I purchased new ones. Now my brakes will not bleed, no pressure in the lines. Can someone please advise on what to do. Thanks

Welcome to the forum Philip,

I've moved this question from your Intro thread to X-Type forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Were the (front) brakes working before you started this job? What method are you using to bleed? A pressure bleeder may help; recommend you bleed the front brakes while you're at it.
