Squishy lever action?

[Gas'd Off]

Advice appreciated
I have just rebuilt my front calipers(pistons&seals) and I can't seem to get all the air bubbles out of the system giving me a safe but squishy lever action I've had the tank off and done a full and thorough bleed through the ABS nipple and then the calipers, first RH then LH and I still have air in there somewhere Does anyone have any ideas I have tried tieing the lever back over night (which has worked on other bikes in the past) but my squishyness returns heeulp!
The 7yr old rubber hoses do need replacing but it wasn't as squishy(good word that ) before I drained the system down
Any ideas?
TIA

I had a similar problem on a rear caliper, removed the caliper from it's mounting to straighten the pipe and bled it again. You will probably need a glamorous assistant to hold your caliper while you pump.

Might dislodge the air.

Thanks Simon. I have had a real good go at bleeding the system, both with a one way valve and the traditional "get a helper to pull the lever whilst you open and close the valves". Still squidgy!

a mityvac or similar might do it

HG do the cheaper placcy version for about £45.
