Good Luck is right! Last vehicle I tried to bleed the brakes on, was my wife's '08 Cobalt, following replacing the blown-out master cylinder (my wife has a problem, stomping on her brakes...I've replaced MC's on three of her cars & trucks, so far).

I tried multiple times using all three methods, using a Motive Power pressure bleeder, an Amazon-Chinesium pressure bleeder kit, and a friend under the car while I operated the pedal and my Foxwell NT510 Elite (I have BMW, Toyota-Lexus, and General Motors software onit). Never got a hard pedal, but only 90%. Sold the car soon after, so I never had to buy a new ABS for it.
