When I need to prime the entire system, I usually start by filling the reservoir, crack an outer bleeder at one corner, and let gravity do its thing for a while. It takes a while, but after a while gravity seems to do its thing. Sometimes you need to pump the pedal to stir things a bit. You'll need to do the same at each corner to get the air out.

I always work solo, and it works for me.

Replace the master cylinder

Thank you all for the advice. I had my wife pump faster and hold it. I got all air out. Now I have a firm pedal and she's on all fours.

Next project: trouble shoot why both windows don't work.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1632006206.jpg

Yes, it is possible. Many decades ago I installed them upside down and then very carefully drove it on back roads to the brake shop. I felt so stupid
