got no brakes

I replaced the bearing in the brake assembly, went to bleed the brakes and I cannot get any fluid out of the caliper. I pulled line off the master cylinder and nothing comes out when I continually move lever. Should I get a steady squirt every time I pull the lever? I am missing something here, the brakes worked fine before I pulled the bearing. I removed the same caliper two times before and reinstalled with no issues. could a small piece of something got into a orifice? Looking for some insight, thanks

possibly, all I know is that I removed the line off the caliper and worked the lever for a 1/2 hour and I could not get oil to fill the line. A trip to ace and 4 dollar syringe for injecting meat and .50 1/8 plastic tube, filled syringe pushed oil to reservoir, brakes working in 2 minutes.
