Izack, they're a beotch when they've been allowed to go dry. Had one do that on the Legacy and took for-freaking-ever to get all the air out. Patience is the only advice I have to offer. I've seriously looked at one of those power-bleeders, but just don't seem to use it that often.

Re: bleed cultch

If you bled the master cylinder first it should all be simple after that. You can try loosening and tightening the pipe in the master cylinder to bleed it, which doesn't always work, or you pull the pipe right out and put a finger over it while someone pushes the pedal down slowly. Have a rag handy and plenty of water to wash off the spills.
Once that cylinder is done re attach the pipe and bleed the slave cylinder using it's nipple.
