Pulled myself under the truck and depressed the brake pedal until the bubbles were gone. Moved to the next in series. Did that twice. No problem.
to edit. thats the clear tubing going into a clear bottle with clean brake fluid. Tubing in there where no air can return to the bleeder. My shoes were not adjusted. Making sure the master cyln does not run out. Pulling the brake pedal underneath as to pump it. Longer the system can sit full, the better. I adjusted the shoes to where I could just hear the pads rubbing. Everything being brand new helps.
