Jay any high point in the hydraulic line will trap air (like an inverted U).
Unless you can send a big enough volume of fluid through the problem will
not go away. Is their anything you can do to re-rout the lines to NOT have
a high spot?
The best way to move air out is from low point to high point as you are
trying to do.

I bled the brake fluid twice, still found the same amount of air bubble in
the nylon tube (about 1.5 inches long of the air bubble).

I am pretty sure that I have pumped the fluid from the bottom up all the
way though with a pump I bought from aircraft spruce (pump the fluid into
the bleeder nipple and drain out of of reservor on the top). But after
settled down for while, still see air bubble in the tube.

Any one has similar problem?

Should I flush the fluid the other way around, from top to the bottom?
