How long to bleed

Vacuum bleeders suck (pun intended).
If you have the blender open too far they will suck in air around the bleeder. I prefer pressure bleeders like the motive, but you risk blowing the seals from the master to reservoir.
Try tightening the bleeder just a little. Or maybe temporarily wrap it with Teflon tape. Just don't block the hole.

Is there any reason to think my issue is air in the modulator since all I did was change the brake lines?
