There would have to be a path (leak(s)) for the "micro bubbles" to escape t=
he hydraulic system. Bubbles will not migrate down, only up. Seems like the=
 micro bubbles would end up trapped=C2=A0at the nearest high points in the =
system.
Or the system has a lot of leaks at the high points.Gary H

Gary -
The method that seems to work the best, after bleeding out the system the b=
est you can, is to shove a 2 x 4 between the seat frame and brake pedal, pu=
shing it down with some pressure, then leaving it like that overnight.
Cheers,
