Try this, just take the top off the reservoir and GENTLY squeeze the handle and it shoulds squirt up some fluid and air. Do it gently though otherwise it will squirt real high and get all over the place. As you do this it should start to get some pressure.
Just did that to mine because my front brake It would squeeze all the way to the grip with no braking. The line had some air bubbles in it.

Good job , air tends to stick up in the top of the line and reservoir . When I first changed the brake fluid in my front brakes i drained the old fluid and pulled the new fluid down thru the line using a home made pump attached to the cylinder nipple .I left the reservoir open and pumped any remaining air out that way .
