I put a large weight on the brake pedal that depresses it and applies pressure over night. I use a sledge hammer.
This seems to force air out of the system through the master cylinder. I think the cylinder is slightly inclined and air gets trapped and won't bleed out in the normal way.
I have used this process for a number of years after doing the normal brake bleeding process.
Good luck
Dave
