if you can't get yer esi bleeder on, try jackin the rear up as high as possible then wedge the brake pedal down hard and leave it over night before bleeding . then do the same wiff the front.

Try wrapping some insulation tape around the threads on the resevoir and use the esi-bleed cap that is a slightly loose fit and has a slightly different thread (no need to use the sealing washer). Wind it on, over the tape, till its tight, you should now have a good seal on the resevoir. It worked a treat for me.
