with bleeding the front brakes , this should show , open the bleed screw place hose on the fitting and have a helper hit the brakes see how the brake fluid flows...

with bleeder screw open use C clamp push back caliper see what the brake fluid looks like dirty/air/discolored >>>>.

always use a clear tubing so you can see what the brake fluid looks like coming out the bleeder screw...
I'll check on the function of the front brakes and report back.
