i changed my calipers and bled them, now wheels struggle to turn and a few seconds after pumping the pedal it goes from really hard to nothing, checked all the connections and no leaks and the brake fluid looks like its going up if anything

any ideas

cheers, Kin

Sounds like they arent releasing the brake pads.
It could be a kink in the brake hose which is why the fluid is going up. Get someone to hold there foot on the brake whilst you open the bleed nipple. If it releases the the pad then there is something wrong with the hose somewhere.

Calipers on upside down, bleed nipple should be at the top.
