In a pinch, if you are using water in your brake, you can use a bucket pretty easily to bleed your brake. I take my lever off so it is easier to work with, but you dont have to do this. With the lever low and the slaves high, I tap the lines to try to get the air moving that way. Keeping the back end high, I stick the lever underwater, pump the lever a couple of times and crack the bleeder on the slave loose, when the lever is all the way in, I close the bleeder on the slave, and open up the lever-which is still underwater. You can repeat this a few times. Moving water from bottom to top is good for not introducing new air while getting rid of present air bubbles, but to flush the whole system you should try something different. With the bucket on a table top, place your lever in the bucket and let the back end hang down and rest on the ground. Crack open the lever bleeder and pump it a few times to get rid of air it may have in it, and then open the slave bleeder. Open it slowly, but then open it all the way and let a lot of water run through. Shut the slave bleeder first. So thats how you bleed your brakes when you are old and senile. Sounds to me like your TPA was all the way in when you/he bled your brake. Try it again with a bucket
