Really helps to remove or loose the inner fender skirt here
and pry it out of the way
Loosen master cyl from pedal and firewall (rangers have at least 3 different mount methods for the master cyl, the later model ones simply twist) push it into engine bay
flip master so the fluid feed line is at top and the push rod is at bottom, tap on the side of it with screwdriver as you try to depress the push rod. Usually just rapping on the side of the master cyl will release some bubbles
One pea sized bubble or many many small bubbles (like pin drop) will make a world of difference here
For stubborn units I will also remove the hyd line from the slave cylinder, hang the whole system on the wall.
Just like if the system is new and being bench bled.......
hang it on the wall like in the video above and two of us will bleed it while rapping on the line with larger screwdriver.
Sometimes you will be amazed at how much air comes out even when you thought it had already been bled
I have spent 5 minutes and I have spent 45 minutes bench bleeding the master before I was satisfied there was no bubble
a properly bled master and line can be attached to the slave, then it just takes 2-3 bleeds on the slave and you are done
