    An old shade tree (but effective) way is to connect a rubber tube to your bleeder and stick the end of the tube in your Dot III, open the bleed screw and now your pumping fluid both ways eliminating compressible air. Works on those stubborn Girling style rear calipers quite well.

    Busy putting everything in two sheds, a barn, and the shop.

    If you nave a hard time Bleeding Brakes; you have to take a hard look at the Master Cylinder.
    See if the Master Cylinder, alone, will Pump-up.
    The Master Cylinder is Key.
    If those Seals in the Master Cylinder are tired; all the bleeding in the world isn't going to build-up good Hydraulic Pressure.

    When the Master Cylinder is working right; there's NO Problem getting the Fluid to move-out and down the Lines.

    Fill the Master half-way.
    Pull the Brake Lever.
    If you see Brake Fluid shooting up in a fountain stream from the reservoir, ... You need to Rebuild the Master Cylinder.
