Default V40 Brake Issue

Okay, I need some help. Needed front brakes to pass inspection (Virginia), so I figured I'd do them myself. New calipers, new shoes, plenty of meat left on the rotors so I had them turned. I put everything back together and started to bleed them. Front right was fine but I'm getting no fluid to the front left...nothing at all (front left brake caliper was reason for inspection fail). Is this something for a shop or is there something that I can do? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Bill

Default ...a little foolish

So I just hadn't pumped enough fluid through. She's fit as a fiddle now! A note in defense of self: It's been thirty years since I've fooled with brakes.
