OK, I tried the solution offered below to no avail.
I now also notice a small leak at the front of the reservoir where it joins
the metal part of the cylinder. Are there replaceable seals you can get for
that if I need to pull the cylinder again?
The brakes seem fine still.
Any thoughts welcomed.
Cheers,

Phillip,
Sort-of. You will have to crack a bleeder, with the ign switch on (so the
light is light) and slowly press the pedal. If it goes to the floor and
the light doesn't go out. Then you'll have to go to the other side and
bleed there. You really aren't bleed the brakes, just reducing the pressure
on one side of the PWDA so that the shuttle inside is centered.
As your helper presses on the brake, have him watch the light. As soon as
it goes out he should stop pressing (but don't let up on the pedal), have
him yell, so you can close the bleeder.
