You need a helper to pump the brakes for you

check and top off the brake fluid in master cylinder

pump few and hold down
then open the bleeder on the caliper letting the air out repeat until have a good paddle position
and no more air coming out
((((make sure u have enough brake fluid at all times in the master cylinder do not run it out of fluid ))))
