Put new rotors and pads on today. Wanted to bleed the brakes while I was
down there.

When I loosen the bleed nipple valve thingy, I don't get any brake fluid out
of the hole on the end.  If I loosen too far, brake fluid starts seeping out
around the threads, but not out of the hole.

I thought maybe one was clogged, but I'm having the same problem on both
front calipers.

Am I missing something obvious?  There were no caps on the bleed valves, so
I suppose it's possible they're both clogged...

Any help appreciated, including advice on how to install new valves if
that's what I need.

Please reply direct ( you can cc: the list), as I'm not currently
