Gig,
Are you sure you have opened the bleeder valve? You twist the small black
fitting, not the larger brass fitting.

Subject: What's the trick for filling the brakes?
OK, just so nobody just quotes the Grove instructions here they are.
My problem is when I pump the oil can NOTHING goes into the brakes.

Loosely connect a
