we bled the x pattern the first time, but the parking brake was on(but no air in the front). we bled the BACK again, no difference.

 

but we disconnected the brake lines to swap, and the brake lines from the body dripped out into a bucket.

 

i didnt think of bleeding the master cylinder at the time, but that sounds like it. what it needs is a bench bleed.

 

Jim, ask autozone about a brake bleeder kit. it comes with some clear plastic tubing and i think a plastic jar. not only will that bleed it properly, but it will flush out all that 180,000 mile old brpwn brake fluid!

 

that is something that can be done in the garage(witht he jar, of course) if i were to come down again, but thhe weather being cold. it wont make a mess if you're careful. the neighbor guy might know how to bleed brakes if he can help you if i dont come anytime soon.
