Tom,

Get yourself an assistant (my girlfriend run anytime I talk about
bleeding brakes) and do it the old fashion way.  I have never had any
luck with any of the "one man" brake bleeders.

Attach a rubber hose to the bleeder nipple and put the loose end in a
quart jar with a bit of clean brake fluid, have an assistant sit in the
car and press the clutch pedal, you loosen the bleeder screw and let the
air/brake fluid bubble into the jar, tighten the bleeder screw and have
the assistant release the clutch pedal.

You keep doing this until your assistant quits, or you have a firm
clutch pedal and no air bubbles coming out of the tube.

Enjoy
