Dan,
when bleeding a hydrolic system you always start at the farthest point from
the resivoir. In the case of the brakes, the right rear w/c. then work on
the left rear, then the right front and finally the left front. Also check
to make sure the rear brakes are adjusted out enough. You should also check
the rubber hoses. They tend to get soft with age. Probably not a bad idea
to replace them and re-bleed the system. It will probably make the rear
brakes firmer.
