Success at last

I finally completed the bleeding process today using the same method I started with.
My lack of success initially was due to the piston in the master cylinder being jambed in the forward position due to the rubber particles from the bad inlet hose. Additionally when the master cylinder was pulled apart the return spring was broken into three parts.
After reinstalling the master cylinder with new rubbers and spring the bleeding process went smoothly.
I am still amazed however about the inlet hose to the master cylinder. How could this faulty part be installed in so many Saabs for so many years? It is hardly a bad batch of hoses.
