Hi Mike,

Looked back through this whole thread and don't see that you mention if you have a hard pedal even though you are seeing bubbles. Is the pedal firm?

The reason I ask is that I'm a one man "shop" myself and use a vacuum pump for bleeding most of the time. When bleeding with the pump you will see bubbles with vacuum if you only just crack open the bleeder. I put a box wrench over the bleeder, positioned so I can get a good quarter turn on the bleeder, then slide a hose over the bleeder. Probably at least most of the time, I can get a steady fluid stream by turning the bleeder about an 1/8 of a turn.

After I bleed the brakes, I let it sit over night with a 2X4, keeping pressure on the pedal by bracing off the seat like Ggmac says. This keeps the Master cylinder port open with the system under pressure, air bubbles will migrate into thee master cylinder.
