Bleeding rear brake system -> Am I doing something wrong?

Try pumping it up ,then crack the banjo bolt ,see if you get any pressure there because sometimes they build up pressure on our bikes .Then once you are satisfied you have pressure and flow at the banjo fitting ,try bleeding at the bleeder screw .If you are still not winning ,remove the caliper bolts ,insert something between the pads to compensate for the brake rotor ,lift the caliper higher than the master ,and bleed it that way .Dont let the master run dry or you will be starting fresh again .
