I was never able to get all the air out. After many hours of frustration I broke down and bought a pressure brake bleeder from Aircraft Tool Supply. It's around $90 but well worth it. I pressurize the tank, connect it to the bleeder nipple, and let fluid flow up to the reservoir. Secure a cup under the reservoir to catch the overflow. Let the bleeder tank push fluid until several ounces fill the overflow cup and you're done! A couple of notes: make sure your brake pedals are fully retracted - fluid won't flow backwards through the system if a brake is partially depressed. Also, even under pressure, the fluid moves rather slowly. It could be a full minute before you start seeing any result.
