You could try reverse bleeding.

Often used with pain in the ass motorbike hydraulics.

You'll need a syringe and a bit of pipe.

starting at the brake f***hest from the master/ABS basically you inject fluid into the brake bleed nipple and gently empty the syringe.

then do the others.

bearing in mind unlike normal bleeding your filling the system so keep a close eye on the res'

very easy for it to overflow/spill out.
