help bleed brakes.

Ok I just got the car back from the body shop for new paint. Well I striped every thing from the engine bay also I replaced the abs unit and all the lines and the brake booster. Well now I cant get the air out of the system. I got the Mity Vac and spent a hour sucking stuff out of the lines and still I have air in the lines. So whats the trick?

I have the key on. if that helps.

The rule of thumb is to start at the brake furthest from the master cylinder, and work your way to the closest.
