I wrap the caliper with a shop towel to soak up the fluid and wear gloves.
Make sure the seal in the master cylinder didn't get bunched up when you replaced the lid. You sure the new line is on nice and tight with crush washers on there?

I've been doing this. I am 99% certain the hydraulic portion of the system is in great shape from an air standpoint. I can't find any air no matter where I look or what I do.
