Using a pressure system I'd think I'd generate a leak before drawing air into the system. I just find it hard to believe I've run so much fluid through one line and haven't gotten all the air out. And yet, despite all those bubbles, the pedal feel is the same. What is going on? I've never had this much trouble bleeding brakes before!
That is odd, although the right rear line is always the most difficult to bleed, since it's the longest line length. Only other thing I can think of is maybe the bleeder screw threads have worn out, or perhaps the new MC is defective? Sloppy bleeder threads would allow air to sneak in and would show up in the bleeder tube while you're bleeding it, but since it's a pressure bleeder, I don't think that air could get pulled into the system from that point or effect pedal feel.
