REFLECTOR:Soft brake pedal.

[Scott Derrick]

I picked up the nose of my plane and set the nose wheel on a box about 1.5' to 2'  high. I had somebody hold it down that I really trusted. 

This provided some really positive gravity for the bubbles to work up the line. Just raising the nose caused a bunch to rise up the line. then back bleed of course from the wheel to the master cylinder. I did this after I accidentally popped the brake puck out which insured it was full of air after I stuck it back in.  Tight brakes, no worries.
