Looks like things have been a bit slow here so I'll ask about a long standing issue that I've never resolved. What's the best way to bleed the brakes on a US 69 dual circuit MC car.

History: I've got a resleeved MC and I've never been able to get all the air out of the brake lines. Its not related but I've replaced the soft lines and the rear brake compensator valve, and removed the boosters. I've useed a Power Bleeder and many quarts of brake fluid. A non-Alfa shop tried pressure, vacuum and somebody pumping the brakes and finally combined all 3 with the same lousy results.

Here's a couple of tips I've heard and some I've even tried.

1. Raise the car at the front end. Haven't done this one yet but the tipster talked about using a crane!

2. First crack the lines at the MC until fresh fluid flows. Repeat at the boosters or where they used to be. Then finally bleed at the calipers starting with the right rear, left rear, right front and finally the left front.

3. Bleed the front and rear right side together and then the left front and rear. I never did quite understand how this should work.

So how is it done?
