just got back from getting the front wheels aligned. Decided to change out the brake fluid. Sucked out the old fluid from the MS with a syringe and filled with new fluid. Then went to front left wheel had to fight the bleeding screw, and replaced with a new one. Had my brother step on the brake then I would crack open the bleeding screw, close it, and then tell him to let up. I had a hose on the screw going to an empty bottle to catch old fluid. I maintained the level between low and full in the Master cylinder but just can't get the air bubbles to stop coming out when he steps on the brake and then I crack open the screw. I am frustrated.

OK, Update, I just tried again, but this time with the engine running. The brake fluid seems to come out a bit foamy, but not many large bubbles like before, and the pedals appears to be getting solid again. I realize the foam is air mixed with the fluid or at least I believe it. LOL I am just guessing but believe the ABS may be the reason. I haven't touched the other 3 wheels at all.
