speed bleeders help. Mine were from russell (google it). When i did mine after putting on apes, it took quite a while. At the end it kept not being right. Like you said, 95%. At that point i got a clean container and kept pumping fluid through then putting the fluid from the clean container back in the reservoir since the new fluid was all there was at that point. Every once in a while i'd get a few more air bubbles coming out. It ended up at 100% eventually.
not sure why i decided to do it but i changed fluid on the rear after replacing the worn out pads. Used russell speed bleeders. Usually don't even change fluid at all but took it on. Speed bleeders is the way to go. Easy as 1, 2, 3. Been doing my own work for over 40 years and didn't know what i was missing. I'll never go back. I'll do the front when i re-pad it. By the way, took my time and thoroughly cleaned all the pistons, etc. Old dog...new trick...
