sounds like the mother of all airlocks. if you can get your hands on a big syringe, then maybe you could try pushing the airlock from down on the caliper back up to the mc. done it in the past. works a treat
good luck Ade

managed to get the mc pumping by putting thumb over the hole and pumping till it presurised then put the pipes back on,mate said that his did the same and just got to keep pumping till it comes through
