    Ok, if the recommended routing is series. I would then select the lowest point in the system as the inlet for the bleed line, then route the brake lines from the top of that caliper to the bottom of the second caliper. The line to the master cylinder would then run from the top of the second caliper. Unless you are running gph volumes of fluid through the system, I can't imagine getting all the air out with the bleed insert at the top. Or maybe I am misreading the picture. When bleeding my system, even a small visible bubble of air in one of the Nylaflow lines will result in a spongy feeling. And yes, I have no problem locking a brake and pivoting a 360 on that wheel - either side. A thought, if this has been a constant problm, could it be a mis-adjustment of the tailwheel that it won't unlock and freely pivot.
