The Brake Master Cylinder should be in the "Rest Position" then use a bleeder ball on the master cylinder reservoir. It will provide fluid pressure to move the brake master cylinder off the "rest position" and allow fluid to pass, no more than 8-10psi... note; this will be fluid without any air in it, and it will also pressurize the brake lines, hoses, fittings and ultimately the wheel cylinders, as a COMPLETE brake hydraulic system. So, if there is a leak, it will show. The problem with using a vacuum pump is that it will draw fluid and if there is a leak, it will draw air thru that leak... no matter how small it may be, hence the air bubbles you are getting. A Vacuum Pump is really the wrong tool to use for this job. Get yourself a Bleeder Ball, that's what they were made for.
