I wouldnt use 15 psi, too high, it will cause you to make soda!!
Best have a pint of fluid on hand. Slow & gentle is the trick to bleeding brakes.
Using your mity vac may give a better result. Just keep the back part of the reservoir full.
Good Luck !!

My bleeder is supposed to keep refilling the reservoir automatically (you fill the bleeding unit with fluid and it pushes it into the reservoir) but maybe it's just not working, or maybe it doesn't work right with ABS. I'll bet its not keeping the back of the reservoir full, in which case I maybe will have better luck doing it by hand. If I can find an assistant ...
