Default bleeding hydraulic handbrake

Hi
I have fitted an hydraulic handbrake on my sierra cosworth, but i can't get the brakes good.
I've bleeding the systeem 4 times there is no air but it stil is not good.
Is there a special way to do it?

All I do is use my Gunsons pressure bleeder, after disconencting the pump motor, leave the ignition on 1 as this opens the abs valve block.
