Sometime slackening the banjo bolt on the top the the master cylinder can let the bubble out but you risk letting more air in.
If you unbolt the caliper from the bracket and the brake pipe guide from the swinging arm and tie it so brake pipe runs uphill from the master cylinder to the caliper and then bleed it you should get rid of the bubble.
Was abt to try this. Seems like the nut at the master pump is locked after putting on much more force the whole bracket broke instead.
