Need some help with bleeding the brakes.  I have replaced the nylaflow 
tubing in my L-IVP and  I am having a problem getting fluid back into 
the lines.

I originally started from the bottom  by attempting to pump fluid up 
thru the fitting on the brake housing.  No luck;  wouldn't take the 
fluid....big mess.  Next, I filled up the reservoir and tried to fill 
the lines from the top down;  by pumping the hydraulic cylinders on the 
rudder pedals.  No luck...bigger mess.  It seems like I am trying to 
push the fluid thru a check valve, the wrong way.

Funny thing is that I can remember years back when I first installed the 
brakes, I ran into the same exact problem.  Cant remember what exactly 
solved the problem but history seems to be repeating itself.  Guess the 
memory is worse than I thought.  Can there be a sequence to bleeding 
these brakes that I'm not aware of?

Happy Holidays, Bill Hogarty
