What worked for me is following the bleeding instructions in Carol Smith's
books. Put the car on jack stands, take of all wheels. Attach bleed
lines/containers to the front and rear brakes on the same side of car, and
open-up the bleed screws. Gravity bleeds the lines. This worked after the
traditional "pump the pedal" method, which I was likely doing wrong, yielded
spongy brakes.
