Hi, help me please.

I have definitely confirmed that the lever is not allowing any mineral oil through for a bleed, by removing the hose from the lever and it runs from the caliper to this end freely. But what is causing the lever to block any fluid through it?

The lever is not pulled and the basic BL615 lever only has an allen key which adjusts the reach of the lever, I have tried this in and out and no difference.

Bleed funnel without the plunger is in the bleed port.I am fed up of spraying mineral oil all around my garden. Help please.

For the moment let's assume that nothing has failed internally....

There's only one reason this can happen - the lever is not returning fully and the piston is not moving back past the fluid feed port.

Check the lever is coming all the way back 😀

Yes, the lever is not coming all the way back, How can I make this happen. Pressure on piston end with syringe only seems to get lever half way back.
