I know that has come up before but I thought I'd post it again. When
bleeding new brake and clutch lines for the first time (i.e. there is no
fluif in the lines), what seems to be the best method? This is for my '59
TR3A restoration. I have filled up both of the reservoirs, and all is
holding so far. I tried to draw the fluid to the right rear brakes, being
furthest from the cylinder, using a mitivac, but cannot get the fluif to
come through the line. Do I need to recruit my wife and have her depress the
brake pedal with her hands (no seats installed yet) as discussed recently? I
have not tried the clutch yet.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
