Thanks Bill. I don't have the bottle that high. I had my wife pump and hold the
brake while I opened the nipple and keep pressure until I closed it, also my
tube has a one way valve on the end and was in the bottle below the level of
the previously drained fluid.

Bob,
You may already know this but I learned recently that you should always have
you drain bottle above the cylinder outlet to prevent bubbles from entering
through the bleeder threads.
Only other suggestion is to revisit the brake adjustments so the system is not
using that first pedal pump just get the shoes started out.
Hopefully more good suggestions will follow.
All the best,
Bill

I replaced the master cylinder in my TR3A and now I can't seem to get the
brakes bled. I've been around all 4 wheels a few times but I continue to get
bubbles and a soft peddle to a point. The peddle will get hard a few inches
from the floor and will pump up somewhat. Is it possible that the new master
cylinder is bad? I can't see how air is getting in the system, I know I've
pulled several reservoirs worth of fluid through.
Thanks for any ideas,
Bob
