Need help bleeding handbrake setup

I've got a 929 brake lever with a line down to the rear master cyl. I used plumbing fittings and jb weld to attach the fittings to the old reservoir hole on the rear master. Basically its manny's setup.

I can't seem to get fluid down to the rear master. I don't know if its the way i have the reservoir or what. The reservoir is above the lever but the hose dips down and then comes back up. I remember reading about how some people were bleeding it off the bike or something. I figured that the suction from the lever would pull fluid up into it and then into the system but it isn't seeming to work. I plugged the intake on the lever with my finger and pumped the rear master it got a vacuum so everything is air tight. Can someone give me some help here???

hold the master cylinder in your hand and pump it, it doesn't bleed well when it's upside down.

Lots of topics he helped out in.

I did a search using the name Schwartz, searching only the How-to forum in the last 6 months and came up with these results:

Hope this helps.
