MG MGA - Brake bleeding

Anyone experience of bleeding brakes with a remote servo in the system? Just finished a bit of re-piping work at the rear end and first attempt at bleeding the resulting air out through the rear wheels callipers surprisingly didn’t want to get much flow with the Easybleed kit attached. Retired hurt for a cup of tea and persuaded wife to help do it the old-school way in a little while.
Just curious, should the remote servo perhaps be causing some natural blockage to a pressurised flow from the the master cylinder which may work (hopefully) with normal pedal pressure instead?

Hi Bruce

Did you bleed the servo from the bleed nipple on its body?

Cheers

Have you tried bleeding with the engine running to ensure the servo is operating?
