Another quick note about bleeding with the 2-person method: Don't ever let the pedal go all the way to the floor. It causes the master cylinder piston to go beyond its normal travel range. When it does, it's much more likely to encounter dirt, dust, and even rust. Obviously these impurities wreak havok with the seals.
Ask any professional tech... this is the reason that it's very common for vehicles which have had recent brake work to soon after require a new master cylinder.
