I've used several methods, just depends on the difficulty.
One method is to completely remove the bleeder screw, hold my finger over the hole, have assistant slowly and fully pump the pedal. This method is effective when there is air trapped in a line, it keeps the fluid moving so the bubble can't run back up to the high point.
Another I have used is to reverse bleed. This comes in handy when there is no assistant or the system is a difficult to bleed design. I use a NEW pump type oil can. Attach a short piece of clear vinyl hose (so you can see that there are no bubbles coming from the pump can), attach it to an open and CLEANED bleeder screw, pump fluid up through the master cylinder until the bubbles stop.
A strange situation I encountered years ago, a Clark forklift, had the wheel cylinders mounted vertically. No amount of bleeding would get the trapped air out of the top half of the cylinders. I had to bleed them before the shoes were installed. Remove the top piston, pull the cup to the side, very carefully press the pedal until the air was out, reassemble the cylinder.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
