Default Need Some Help w/ Wilwoods

Just installed a 6-piston SL Wilwood front brake kit, however when I went to bleed the lines nothing was coming out of the valves.

Any one have any ideas, the fluid is making it to the valve going into the caliper however nothing was coming out on the top valves.

Keep pumping, there is a lot of volume in there and it may take a bit of work to fill them up. My wilwoods came off of another car, so they already had some fluid in them, but that's my guess.

Yea, thats a good point. I was using an air suction bleeder for like 10 mins and nothing was coming out. Do you know the order to bleed? I know its the passenger side then driver, but what valve do you start with the outside one? Also do both valves on the caliper need to be open or only the one your bleeding, b/c there's two valves per caliper.

Usually I do the inside, then the outside, then I do the inside of the caliper again (just to be sure, but I only do a pump or two of the brakes unless I get air).
