w201 brake fluid- is there a trick to changing it?

I am starting with the passeger side rear wheel. All I get is air when my assistant pumps the brakes.

Tell me what I am missing. This is what I did-
1. removed the wheel
2. loosened the brake fluid bleed nipple
3. attached a tight fitting clear plastic tube to the nipple
4. opened the hood and overfilled the bf reservoir
5. as the assistant pumped the brakes, I opened the line.
6. brake fluid comes out but the air bubles never stop coming.

the one thing i noticed, when the brake fluid level in the reservoir is in "max" line, fluid does not come out anymore..just air. what the??

any tips are appreciated.
