Hi chaps, I'm struggling to get the brakes bled properly and I'm wondering if we have an air trap in the top of the servo cylinder?

We've fitted the remote servo under the dash, but the fliud enters above where it exit so to the brakes.

Would this prevent it from bleeding?

Trapped air can be difficult to evucuate when the system has been modified and sometimes due the the extra length of brake piping the volume in the master cylider of fluid can be insufficent when stroked to expel the air/fluid, when ever I have had a problem I have used a vacumm brake bleeder, remember on old master cylinders they dont like going full stroke up a bore where its not been in a long time and this can damage the seals, see this on lots of occasions.
