Went back at it today without much success. Removed the MC and made
certain it was bench bleed. No air bubbles when pushing the plunger and
fluid flowed in solid streams. I plugged the rear at the MC and the front
brakes worked OK. Not great but not too bad. Pedal was solid. Attached
rear and bleed with Hupy bleeder. Brake pedal was soft and no braking
action occurred until the pedal was 2/3 the way down. Drivable but not
real safe. Checked to make sure pads were seated on rear rotors and they
were. It did not take much pedal movement to stop the wheel moving when
jacked up and turned by hand. Really at a loss here.

Is there anyone that can help find someone in the DFW area to come help
me? I¹m pretty much over my head now and about done. About ready to list
it for sale and walk away. Lots of nice folks with these and have
provided some help but I just don¹t have the time or energy to deal with a
storage queen. Already missed one trip due to this project and now
canceling another. I took a working coach with OK brakes and now have a
vehicle that is not safe enough to be on congested roads.

Thanks,
Neil Fonville
