Everyone knows how easy (?) bleeding our brakes are, I have tried the friend method, shooting 5 or 10 psi through the MC and gravity method. From what I have seen all have a similar level of success. Prior to replacing a rear caliper the pedal was solid, since the new caliper I can get about 80%.
This old horse must be well beaten by now |

Get speed bleeders and and clear plastic tubing that fits them. Enough tubing to reach from the pass side caliper to the floor next to the drivers door.

Tried everything else and was getting nowhere. Speed bleeders and enough tubing so I could watch the bubbles disappear while pumping the brakes made short work of it. |
