Ok,
I put my new caliper on this morning and as I was working alone I decided to open the bleeder valve and let gravity do the work as suggested by others. Worked great, soon I had bubble free brake fluid coming out of the caliper. I closed it up and tested it. While it wasn't perfect (mine have never been perfect) it seemed to be better than before. Great. What I can't figure out is how/why the flow of brake fluid moves any air bubbles located in the high points of the brake line down the line and then out. Brake fluid doesn't seem dense enough to 'push' the air bubbles down the line.
Explain it like I am five....
