So that is what I did, I lost track how many times I cycled it, way more than the 7 times I used a stop watch to check the times. Those I wrote down in the service manual. The problem with the system is that all the lines are dead ended in the actuating cylinders. I guess one has to mix the air with the fluid to get it back to the reservoir so that it can get out. Not like bleeding the brake system. If anyone has any other info, I would be glad to here from them on this subject.

Thanks MD83Driver. Yeah, the air mixes with the fluid so the fluid turns an opaque pink color. The air bubbles are so tiny it takes about 2-3 weeks for the air to come out of solution. We've talked about disconnecting each line and flushing them individually.
