Mel,
 
I'm not to the point of bleeding my brakes yet.  But, as I remember the
threads, there were a couple of suggestions that seemed to come to the
top.  First, I believe a hand pump was used to pump fluid in from the
brake side.  I don 't know where to the the hand pump, but as I recall
they weren't that expensive.  Also, someone had some success by tipping
the aircraft on its tail.  Helps to get those bubbles out of the
chambers in the caliper.
 
Just what I remember.  Others have the experience.
 
Best,
 
Andy

I have been having a very difficult time bleeding my brakes.  I have
worked from both the top and bottom of the system and cannot get a hard
pedal.  As I recall, this topic was discussed a few months ago.  Does
anyone remember what the conclusion was regarding the best method? 

I was able to exchange the one bad master cylinder at Napa under
warranty by taking it to the store (thanks Kevin).
