Brake bleeding
New repro calliper and pipe fitted but can’t bleed it up as it’s sucking air into the system anyone had similar problems can only assume it’s calliper or the pipe all was working before. Cheers
Re: Brake bleeding
make sure your not opening the nipple too far this can let air into the system.

Re: Brake bleeding
Put a couple of twist of ptfe tape on the bleed nipple threads to stop the air getting in.
Re: Brake bleeding
What have you replaced, pipe wise, all three sections (i.e. solid pipe & two flexible hoses) or just the flexible sections, or is it just one, flexible hose ?
If it's the original style set-up, check all the pipe/hose joints. I have heard some aftermarket parts are not a good fit, either in the caliper or pipe to pipe/hose joints.
Also, have you used new copper washers or at least annealed the old copper washers ?
