Bike: 13' yz450
Problem: I had a get-off and handlebars met a tree. Broken brake lever, hole in brake line, and the banjo bolt loosened up. Tightened banjo back up so it wasn't pouring out and rode home. Ordered new braided brake line and new lever. Installed both last night. The real problem is I'm not getting hardly anything from the M/C I've tried priming it with my finger multiple times, I get some suction and pump until I'm only getting fluid and no air with my finger over the m/c hole and reinstall banjo bolt and still have zero pressure. I've let the caliper bleeder open for about a half hour to fill the lines up and it's a constant stream out of the caliper with no bubbles so I know the caliper is full. I know the m/c is the fault of no pressure. How do you check to see if a m/c needs rebuilt? And would a smack into a tree like that really damage the internals of it? Like I said I've tried priming it with my finger and I hardly get any suction or fluid coming out at all. I just don't know where to go with it
