It does not take much to have air trapped at the opposite end of the master or slave. You can leave the bleeder screw on the slave open all day and keep topping it up and air will still be left in the slave or master.
You should try and borrow a Phoenix Injecter or somthing similar what it does it forces clean brake fluid from a bottle into the bleeder screw (slave) and pushes everything up into the master. You just have to keep an eye not to over flow the master. I use a Turkey Baster to suck up the fluid. You can google it to see how it works or try you tube.
Good luck and I hope I was some help.

Thank you, I knew the gravity answer was BS. Ive been wondering if the pressure bleeder would help me. You say it works every time, no mater what? Does it work on the spring loaded cylinders?
