After a comprehensive brake rebuild (new master cylinder, some new brake
lines, new hoses, rebuilt calipers and rebuilt drums) I am finally ready
to bleed the brakes. I thought I'd try the Mityvac method, which
dictates that I start closest to the MC and work back to farthest (vac
method). Anyway, after 3 cans of fluid, I still haven't relieved all the
air from the left front caliper fitting. Do I have a problem somewhere,
or do I just need to go through a lot more before I get all the air
volume out? I've never done this particular thing before.

Thanks as always,
