Default front brake bleeding problem

alright so i put new SS lines on my bike. but now i can't get my brakes to bleed at all, the parts are in the correct place and everything is tight. but for the life of me i can't get any pressure and i have absolutely no idea what is going wrong.

so if you have any idea what could be going wrong, please tell me. i'm open to all suggestions......

Just keep pumping.. It took me like a hour or so. I would fill the res, pump like ten times with no pedal then release a bleeder screw and close it before letting go of the pressure. just keep working on it, it will finely work. some times you can use a power bleeder but they can be a bigger pain in the ***.
good luck
