Keep the resovoir topped up. If you dont keep the pressure on the brake pedal until the bleed screw is tightened it will just suck air back into the system. Same goes if you let the resovoir get too low. Push a bit of hose over the bleed screw and catch the old fluid in a jar to save on mess and wash any spilt fluid off with water straight away. Throw the old fluid away.
    the problem with this old skool bleeding is it generally screws the seal on the master cylinder because the car and its master are old..ok with a brand new master cyl...if you have a compressor then go and buy a self bleeder which is a pop to use with one person as wb said which i deleted..sorry james...
    also when bleeding brakes..start at furthest wheel from the master cyl...which is left rear,then right rear,then left front,then right front..easy as..

    When I worked as a mechanic we got caught a couple of times with old dungers where we bleed the brakes for the first time in years only to have the owner ring back a couple of days latter to complain the brake pedal was long or going to the floor. To get round this we use to put a piece of timber between the brake pedal and the fire wall so the pistons in the master cylinder didn't travel the full length of the bore and seals didn't get cut up by the junk that had accumulated over a long period of time. But if you plan to stay in the car scene I'd pay up and get one of the vacumn bleeders that are powered by compressed air as you can bleed the brakes solo. I always find that you end up with a better pedal using a vacumn bleeder than doing it by pumping the old fluid through with the pedal. There a god sent when dealing with cars with hydralic handbrakes!
