Personally, I've found that that doesn't always work -- the master has
to be level, and they're tilted back -- by design -- when mounted on the
car. The ports are not quite at the front end of the working guts of the
'pump' in there... so a bubble can live in there if not level. I thinkt
hat's what it takes so !@!!@$@$ long to bleed 'em sometimes, the bubble
just pushes back and forth and only a tiny corner of it clips the port
and exits.
