rbray,

Roger, from the way you described your bleeding process, I don't think you are doing it properly.

Have friend pump pedal rapidly for five or six strokes and hold pressure on final push.

You then immediately loosen bleed screw. Friends pedal should go to floor while air/fluid squirt out, but don't let friend let up his pressure on pedal until you tighten bleed screw.

Repeat above until you don't see any more air.

You should start with the longest brake line first, and work your way back to the shortest line.

Gravity feed is nice to begin the bleed process, but won't replace the pressure method.

I've never tried the tool that Sal mentioned, but it seems to have merit. I do like the vacuum tools, but I always finish the job by doing what I described above. Never had a car that failed bleeding that way.
