Jonas -

You definitely don't want to use teflon tape on your brake system, it
can be a safety risk.  You should have proper seal at the unions.

Two questions:

1). Did you replace the brake lines?

2) Can you walk us through step by step how you are working the pedal
and bleed nipple when bleeding?

Thanks,

Alan
