after bleeding the rear brakes, also bleed the master cylinder..it has bleed nipples on it aswell. your pedal will be fine after that.

i just used the pedal m8 to bleed my brakes.

start at back drivers then front passager side then back pass and last the front drivers.

and as said do the master.

my brakes are perfect now  :smiley:.
