Usually it sucks around the threads on the bleeder nipple, try only opening it 1/4 of a turn.


or


Try gravity bleeding, open the nipple place a catch container under, make sure master cylinder is full and go and make a cup of coffee or tea. Check the master cylinder fluid level and top up once per wheel. Make a cup between each wheel and remember to go when needed.



Sure it's slow, but we found with the race cars it was the only way to guarantee a complete bleed (apparently drivers don't appreciate coming to the 1st corner and finding no brakes, go figure)




Stay safe
