Default Why does reservoir fill back up when bench bleeding Tick master

Can't get it to move any fluid. Just disassembled and installed all new internal parts. Still have the same problem.

If you are trying to bench bleed the tick master cylinder you will need two people. Fill the reservoir with fluid and pump the rod in and out of the cylinder. Then hold pressure on the rod and have someone push in the hole on the hydraulic connector. Air and fluid should come out. Do not let pressure off the rod until the hole on the hydraulic connector is closed or you will get air into the system. Make sure your reservoir does go empty and repeat this several times until no more air is coming out of the system.

thanks, two people is the secret, I just couldn't keep everything completely closed or open at the right time by myself.
