I replaced my actuator and now need to bleed the breaks. Random axel, watched some videos on it, however when we pump the actuator with screw driver tru the hole , we can't get any fluid to flow out the wheel fitting.. thoughts,?

bleeder could be clogged? remove it completely and check for bleeder hole being clogged. pump the actuator with bleeder out and see if you get any fluid.

Did you bleed the actuator first.
Single bleeder system? I have this problem when doing mine even using a power bleeder. I have to use the banjo bolt on the right rear caliper first to get the fluid to that point then I can finish it with the bleeder on the port side. It does get done pretty quick when doing this though
No. Should it be disconnected from the line to do this?Originally Posted by gdi
What is a banjo bolt? Is it the one with hex head?
Usually just some short strokes on the piston with a screw driver. About half or 1/3 of a full stroke. Bubbles will release into the master cylinder while doing this. When it stops producing bubbles, it is bled.
Banjo bolt has washers on it and is hollow for the fluid to pass through the bolt usually used at the end of hoses

yes. The bolt that attaches the lines to the caliper. Crack the top one loose on the right rear wheel. Use it like a bleeder

You can bleed it at the nut on the line, or the first place you get to on the brake system that you can loosen. Fill the reservoir, break the line loose, do one stroke, close the line, release, repeat.
Since I'm always working by myself, I'll just submerge the end of the hose in a bottle with fluid. Then don't have to worry about closing/opening the line or bleeder and won't suck air back into the MC.

Well, the way i was recommending would be using any fitting . Just start at the MC hookup to the system. Push, open, close release. Push, open, close, release. The submerged line is a good method, I'm just talking before you get to that point.
I seem to get a way better bleed using the MC as a pump also.
