[QUOTE="Relaxed Chaos, post: 7125659, member: 64993"] For the archives, If anyone actually use the search function and stumbles upon this thread. I'm finally done. The brakes are good. I recommend getting the Motive power bleeder. It is a little bit of a hassle but it does make it a one person job. I would not recommend the speed bleeders due to a high failure rate of these little devices. Maybe they are better now but I've read and talked to many that have had both good luck and failures. The failures are what cause me to stay away from them. I also discovered my main problem. The rear calipers have a trapped pocket of air that requires the bleeder screw to be in a fairly specific location to force the air out. On my car I loosened the bleeder screws about 1/6" of a turn and gently tapped on the bleeder screw. While tapping, rotate the bleeder screw a little more closed to a littel more open and find the air pockets. After that everything was well. I did a final bleed on the master cylinder and and emptied the power bleeder and eveything was back to normal. [/QUOTE]
