Bleed from the caliper port, shut caliper port, pump lever whilst tapping caliper and hose with spanner or Allen key, hold lever while screwing back lever bleed port.
If bite isn't still there, open caliper port and squeeze in a BIT more fluid, careful to not overdo it and burst the diaphragm in the reservoir.

(probably been answered a hundred times already, but here it goes)
New Shimano XT 4 pots.
Fitted and bled.
Rear is fine, but the front has a lot of lever action, does slow the bike but can't lock the front end up.
I've bled, rebled, tried to just "top it up" with no luck.
All new rotors, pads, calipers, the works.
Using an epic solution bleed kit, if that makes a difference.
Any secret tips to getting a bitier front brake?
