The most often overlooked problem with bleeding these brakes is a simple one. There is a separate chamber in the fluid reservoir for the rear brakes, and the divider between the chambers is very high. To get fluid into the rear portion you need to pour it in all the way up to the neck of the reservoir.

Sounds right. I do keep it high, lately, usually to the brim. Crazy too much time in mental goof state with something not complex .... seeming to not make sense.

for the master cyl. bleeding im sold on the retrograde method

using a large piston syringe, 1 in. diameter, 6 in. .long, push new brakefluid from output opening into the cylinder and then on up to fill the reservoir.

Big burps of air come out instantly .... it (air) wants to to up anyway.

Cant have any air in that fluid

OK here we go. Too the brim. No bs.
