Also for best results ,,take the caliper off and press the pistons all the way down with a C-clamp or something,,and point the bleeder up. It works very good.

I recently read an article where a guy was having trouble bleeding his brakes. He supposedly hooked up a pressure bleeder to the rear calipers and fed the brake fluid from the calipers back through to the master cylander. Observe the fluid returning to the m/c until all air bubbles are gone. You will have to put a catch pan under the m/c to catch the overflow. I have not personally tried this, and I am not sure how an inline residual valve may effect this process, but it may be worth a shot. I can't recall where I saw this, must be the CRS disease. Just thought I'd mention it. If I find the article , I will post it. I also think I would go with a 2 psi valve on discs, not 10 psi, if you need one at all???
