Brad,

Aircraft brakes are now bled like a car. They are filled from the bottom =
up.

Open the brake line at the bleeder. Let all of the fluid out. Put the =
fluid back in from the bottom. An oil can filled with brake fluid, =
attached to the bleeder with a rubber hose is the normal way to do the =
fill. When the fluid runs out the top, the brakes are bled.

pressure to the brake (like in a car) and loosened the bottom bleeder =
valve until fluid ran out. brake is still spongy . Any help on this
