Rick:
I thought I had air in the lines after my brake rebuild too when I couldn't
get a solid pedal. Don't know if you mean the bleeders are spitting air, or
the pedal is soft? If you have stock rear brakes, make sure you have them
adjusted up until you can't spin the wheel around one full rev by hand
giving it a single pull. It sounded nuts to me, until I did it and the
spongy pedal went away. After bleeding for half the day, that is :)

Subject: Re: Bleeding Brakes after complete overhaul
Hey guys,
Juiced the brakes this am with DOT 4 after a complete replacement of every
brake component in the car including the hard lines .
Still have air in the lines after twice around with a friend pumping & me
bleeding.
How many times around can I expect to go before all the air is out or should
I just go ahead and buy a pressure bleeder and just go around one more
time??????
