I'll give youdetails on how I do it and so far it works well..

first fill the bottle with fluid, leave the cap off,

put a small containor under the bleed screw to catch the fluid, and open the bleeder fully, let it drain out until the resevior is almost empty, fill and let it keep draining,
when it is almost empty again, close off the bleeder.

then have a person inside, ( and he is themost important part) SLOWY! I cant stress thatenough! very very very slowly , depress the pedal about 4 times. then while the pedal is depressed , open the bleeder, and BEFORE it finishes, close the bleeder.

do this a half dozen times after all the air has escaped and see if this helps:)

but do not release the pedal or depress it quickly! it will cause the fluid to cavitate and cause air bubbles in the system , and you will bleed forever to get them out;)
