Good day!

I rebuilt the calipers on my '73 TR6.  The dust seals were shot and, anyway, 
it's part of my 30 year maintainence schedule.  And, yes, I separated the two 
halves.  I must say that things were in surprisingly good shape inside, no 
rust at all.

Now I can't seem to get the air out of the system.  I ran nearly a quart of 
brake fluid thru it using the smiling assistant technique, let it sit a week, 
and then ran another 1/2 quart thru.  Then I went and bought a Mityvac and 
did it again.  Nothing.  Pedal still goes right to the floor, though it will 
pump up.  No leaks or anything.

What'd I miss?
