Dave,
what is your symptom that leads you to belive you have air in the system?
1) Do you see air bubbles coming out (I assume you are using a hose on the
nipple)?
That means you have air entering the system somewhere. Could be at the
bleed nipple. Use teflon tape on the threads or use the method of only
opening the nipple when under pressure as described by someone else.
2) Do you not see bubbles, but after letting the car sit or driving it you
can "pump up" the brakes?
This could be caused by maladjusted rear brakes, I always tighten the
rear brake adjusters until the wheel is locked up before bleeding.
If it is only after driving, you could have excessively worn or oval drums
or bent rotors.
