The brakes used to be fine before the tubing was replaced. Also, the
bleeding method I'm using is with a rubber tube and a container of
fluid. An assistant was helping with the pedal. The way is was
behaving is that fluid with no air comes out and then suddenly it
"spits" a two inch section of air in the clear rubber tube, then a few
small bubbles. With the next pedal press, the same thing happens again
and so on. I'm pretty sure the problem is between the rubber
hose/metal tube junction and the right rear wheel because no air comes
out of the left rear.

Thanks,

Are you closing the bleed nipple between pedal pumps?

Sometimes the air can get sucked back in past the bleeder threads if it
is left open between pumps.

Sometimes letting it gravity bleed works too.

That sounds like the problem. I'll do it again more carefully.
