This isn't rocket science BUT... 😲

What's the most successful sequence of  bleeding my rear brakes? 

I can get 100% of the air out of the rear calipers and then the turn brake feels like mush... Seem like I'm just chasing this air back and forth. 

I've looked high and low for something in writing with no luck.

*** Dual masters so the front brakes are isolated from the rears.

Thanks in advance! 

 
Is there a bleeder in the turning brake?

 
Bleed the turning brake. Problem is they are a high point and air gets trapped in them. Fighting one on an older Funco Hustler right now. One side is good other side won't maintain pressure unless I pump the brakes one time. Probably bad turning brake. Older CNC and they're gone so maybe replace it with a direct bolt in Jamar turning brake. 

 
I had this same problem and was told to also bleed at the turning brake, but to NOT use the bleed hole on the actual turning brake...Pump the brake pedal a bit to prime the turning brake, then bleed the turning brake by using the valves on the rear calipers.

 
Have your wife pump the brake pedal and hold. Then pull the turning brake handle while you bleed that side. Repeat multiple times.

I usually raise the caliper or master cylinder to be above everything else (whichever is easier) and let physics do the work.

Good tip, That will actually be pretty easy,  being a Funco I can dump the air in either the front or rear. 👍

Nothing strengthens a marriage like backing up a boat trailer or bleeding brakes! Thx 👍😎
