'89 wagon brake bleeding problem

I have just put new pads and rotors all around on my '89 124 wagon. While trying to bleed the rears I got about 10 squirts from the bleeder and then nothing. I also noticed that the reservoir level didn't go down. Does anyone have any ideas? Do I need to find a pressure bleeder?

How are you bleeding the brakes. Do you have a pressure bleeder? Or are you using another method?

'89 wagon brake bleeding problem

I'm using the old "pump the pedal" method. I think I found the problem. Seems that the rear chamber in the reservoir is impossible to see and only fills when you let the fluid fill up into the neck. Only then will it flow into the rear chamber. This means filling above the "MAX" level marked on the side of the reservoir.
