I'm trying to bleed the brakes on my '88 Vanagon after replacing the
master cylinder, calipers, rear wheel cylinders, and brake hoses.
I purchased one of those one-man power bleeders. It has a container with
an attached pump (think bicycle pump) and a hose connected to a cap that
replaces the normal top cap on the brake fluid resovour.  You fill the
container with brake fluid, pump it up to 10-15 psi, and then open the
bleeders at each wheel and supposedly, all is well.

I went thought the process once, bleeding the wheels in the correct
order and waiting until a volume of fresh brake fluid came out, however,
the brakes are still not firm. The pedal sinks down a fair amount before
the brakes take hold.  So, I'm convinced that I will have to go through
the bleeding process yet again. I had done my best to prefill the master
before installing.

Are there any other tricks that anyone can pass on about having a
successfull brake bleeding ?

thanks,

Todd
