Same, the first slave I put in this car I bled in 5 minutes with no issue using that method. It worked for ~6 months, the issue is I'm in school right now and money is tight. I'm looking at rebuilding the unit I have, I'm going to take it apart and check the bore in it. If it's too far gone, I'll replace the whole unit..

I think I just put a hose on the slave/reciever bleeder into a cup and opened it, and pumped a 6 or 8 ounces of brake fluid through. That more or less took care of it.

Cool! I tried a similar method, I pumped fluid down the hose that joins the Master Cylinder and the Fluid reservoir. That helped..
a little
Thanks for the response's guys. I'm gonna give it a break and put a new IP in my van,(oh the joys..
) until I can come up with the money for a Master Cylinder. Seems like I never get any easy automotive work anymore lol..
