Re: the dreaded brake bleeding thread for a 71 C-10

I have a small cheap pump that pushes fluid (and air) backwards from the bleeder to the master cylinder. It's a last resort but it has helped with this situation at least once.

Also, did you isolate and bleed the master cylinder first? You should block the rear port, then put a tube on the front port to recirc back into the master. Very short strokes until no air comes through. Doing it on the bench is ideal though...
