Brake Bleeding

Is such a pain. I know it has been beaten to death but going through every proceedure to get rid of this squishy pedal and it's frustrating as hell.
I replaced the from wheel cylinders and shoes, surfaced the drums by .003, replaced the flex lines which were looking rough. I got her all buttoned up and adjusted tight and just can't seem to get the air out. One pump and the brakes seem pretty solid, but that first pump is straight to the floor.
I don't see any boubles or milkyness anymore. Bleeding at each tire/tyre using the pedal, done each at least 6 times. Going to try using a bleeder next.
pressure or vacuum?

Im upgrading my S2 to S3 brakes, and was reading the other day the guy had the same problem and he swapped the bleed nipple and pipe around on the master cylinder, can't vouch for this its just what i read, are you starting bleeding from the furthest brake from reservoir. Hope you get it sorted.

fit the servo too

i was trying to save a little money but it seems i will need to replace the master cylinder and brake servo. I just hope that clears it up.

Also, she shook a wire loose in the dash last night and caught fire. It was all terribly exciting. Burnt the hell out of my hand, and now i have to go in and replace and patch a bunch of wire. Good times.

Don't use a vacuum bleeder thing, they're ****e. Although I've got one here you can buy if you want!
