Too little capacity in the reservoir, and the TEE in the lines makes the bubbles ambiguous. One way is to buy a brake bleeder from Aircraft Spruce. For the time it saves, it's worth having. An A&P needs one of these anyway. I know one person who uses an oil squirter can (dedicated to the purpose) to pump brake fluid up from the bleeder screws to the reservoir. Cobble up a hose arrangement. Whichever of the above techniques you use, you'll thank yourself if you get a 1/8 NPT to hose barb and run a hose from the top of the reservoir to a jar. That saves having a mess when the reservoir runs over. Finally, when you are done, take something (like an ear syringe bulb or a plastic straw) and REMOVE fluid from the reservoir until the level is 1/4" to 3/8" from the top. Otherwise, as soon as you climb the reservoir will overflow, and it will LOOK like you have a brake fluid leak, and you'll have an ugly stain on the belly.
