You got a hydro handbrake? make sure its open not locked for a start...

is there fluid coming out of calapers when bleeding??

check that there isnt a brake line broke somewhere, that the pressure is just pushing the fluid out..

yo have bled brakes before i take it and know how to do it?
bleed nipples closed and pump and hold down?

never had any problems doing it that way but ive heard of people flipping seals in servos?is that even possible?
