the reservoir above the master cylinder. as you're bleeding, look at the resorvoir(master cylinder) too make sure the fluid level doesnt get to low, otherwise air will enter your braking system, and then you'll have to start over.

u probably bled it wrong. Try using the old fashion two person bleeding way. I bought the freakin self-bleeder tool and bled my gf's old car, an altima. I thought I bled it and once I drove away, I almost shit in my pants when I WANTED to brake. I had to pull on the ebrake and downshift. Then I did the two-person bleeding thing and works wonders. Try to see which brake line is also the longest. Bleed from the longest to the shortest.

750 ml bottle of portwein $10

a friend to pump the break in exchange for a glass of port plus good company $3

DO NOT BUY THE CRAP FROM BAV AUTO, DO IT OLD SCHOOL.

the catch bottle helped though.

2 people method always work! I did my first brake caliper change last fall and used 2 people (my wife and I) method to bleed the brake. It worked very well.

I have the Bavarian Autosport brake bleeder, and it works fine. But...I have never used it by their "recommended" method. They recommend filling their unit with brake fluid, which I don't do. I always siphon out the old fluid from the reservoir (using an old turkey baster), then overfill the reservoir with fresh fluid. Then I simply use the BavAuto bleeder to pressurize the system for a 1-man bleeding operation. The one caveat to this method is you do have to monitor the reservoir fluid level, just as you do the old school way.

that sounds like the way to do it.
