Shimano st-r785 bleed issue

Having a problem with bleeding the above lever. Fluid flows no problem from caliper syringe to lever cup during the bleed.

However I get no 'pressure' when I pull the lever and maximum travel.

When I remove the reservoir cover the fluid quickly seeps out as if there is a build up of pressure in that area.

Lever blockage or a busted seal?

Are you sure you're not just filling it too much? I remember these having a lot of travel before bite.

Make sure you’ve backed out the reach adjusters.

Are you also pressuring the lever by slowly releasing it whilst pushing fluid in from the rear?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
