2006 Acura TL brake bleed

Hey guys so I had to change out a calliper and I’ve been trying to bleed the brakes but I keep getting this air giant air bubble stuck in my diy bleeder I’ve tried placing the bottle higher that the bleeder screw also keep the line above the bleeder screw , I feel like it’s preventing me from bleeding the brakes properly every calliper has done the same thing to me I’m also pushing the pedal atleast half way or 2/3 , the pedal feels okay could maybe be a little better or it’s just normal and I’m being picky , couldn’t upload a video but here’s a picture

When I pump the brakes the stream moves a couple inches and the fluid gets past the air bubble and into the bottle it’s just won’t disappear I’ve pump over 10 times can’t get a solid stream please help

The TL is unique as in the bleeding process is in reverse, you should star with driver side caliber.

Get a vacuum bleeder https://smile.amazon.com/MV8000-Auto...s%2C214&sr=8-5

Yeah but I’ve seen these diy brake bleeders work pretty good , I’m worried those vacuum ones will pull air through the bleed screw

Yeah, I've also seen them work pretty poorly, see Original Post
