Technique?

The cylinders by your feet are 'self bleeding,' as their teeny weeny 'plugs' have a small hole.

Fill from the bottom up, at the wheel, until it drools out on the floor inside (put down rag!)

If there is air in the line, keep going until there isn't.

Or drain the whole line, then start clean from the bottom up.

Your goal is clean brake drool coming out the top of the cylinders by your feet.

Once topped my brakes get hard, but not 'rock' HARD.

Meaning from hard braking to no more compression maybe 1/4 inch pedal movement.
