(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) After listening to everyone's suggestions about how to properly bleed my brakes after replacing the master cylinder, I tried several,

-bench bleed of the MC- I think it worked

-re-bleed the front calipers top bleeders

also, when I disconnected the pressure bleeder (motive systems) I released the pressure really slowly (Im not sure if this makes any difference)


End result: Brakes are back, pedal is very firm, and the fronts and rears are just about balanced...I'll try to get a road test in shortly to be sure, if we get some of the f&(*&n salt off the roads...


Also,

I cleaned up the now paintless floor boards with some POR 15, that stuff is seriously the greatest... I think I'll dip the whole car in it..

anyways,

thanks for the help! I'll look forward to meeting the N-Englanders on the 21st.
