Gotta be careful with that bleeder cap. That's why I like the steel one. It's easy once you've done it a few times and get the feel for it - the key is to make sure you seat the cap fully before turning. The threads on his reservoir are good.

So what I should have done is A. bleed all of the calipers a second time (since the reservoir emptied when we disconnected the first brake line) and B. turned the car on and checked brake pressure while the car was still in the air. It had been a long day and I was just tired; we knew we had time today to finish it up.
