This works for stubborn air bubbles-


- go to a hardware store and pick up some clear hose that fits on the caliper bleeder (pennies per foot).
- stick it on the bleeder, run it over the handle bars and into a bucket.
- take the top off of the reservoir
- get a big bottle of fluid ready
- loosen the bleeder
- squeeze and keep filling
