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.
