Scot,

I have a 66 BJ8 that I have installed a rebuilt servo in, successfully bled,
and then a year later removed everything when I did a complete resto and
then reinstalled everything, again successfully.  I have encountered no
problems in any of these events and have just used "normal bleeding"
practices; starting from the bleed valve the farthest away from the resevoir
and moving progressively to the closest.  I always repeat my circuit around
the entire car but seldom have to go 3 times around.  It does take some
time.  If you do have problems I would receommend checking all the
connections for leaks.  After installing something new in my brake circuits
I always have someone else hold down HARD on the brake pedal (after
bleeding) while I inspect all connections (using a good light).
