Again, what I thought would be one of the easy projects has turned into a major headache. First the rear brakes - I had no problem bleeding them, but they would fade. I discovered a leak in the right rear fitting coming from the "T" fitting. After replacing the line three times with new bubble flares and no luck, I went to an adapter that converts bubble to inverted, which seems to have corrected the problem.
Here’s the big question - I can't get what I think should be sufficient pedal when bleeding the front calipers, which I've done about 18 X's [xx(][xx(][xx(]. I bleed the right front outside, then inside, then the outside and inside on the left side. No bubbles... two quarts of brake fluid, with little success (aka, little pedal pressure). I've pulled the master cylinder.. checked it.. reinstalled it, and the same thing. What the heck am I missing [?][8]
