As I was told the vacuum does not work too well on bleeding the brakes. It sucks air past the threads on the nipple. I did a preliminary bleed with the vacuum and then did a gravity bleed and later I had a buddy pump the pedal as I cracked the nipple.
A pressure bleed would be better than the vacuum method by far.
