Try cracking the bleeders on the calipers and just let them drain... The cup is the highest (should be) point in the system, so the fluid will just flow out the bleeder in the caliper. You will probably see a lot of air come out. Then proceed with two person pump bleeding until you're confident there is no air in the lines...

: I just finished installing used 240 Volvo calipers,new 320i discs...My brakes worked fine before, except for not very high stopping power. After bleeding the calipers w/ a one man bleeding kit, I still have no pedal. I can't find any noticable leaks. When changing the calipers most of the fluid leaked out. I tried to bleed the master cylinder through the 10mm bolt on top to no avail. should this fitting pass alot of fluid? It spit a tiny bit of fluid out. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Thanks,
