Great Idea, thanks Robert, I'll add that to my troubleshooting chicken scratch notebook. Isolate the circuits like electrical troubleshooting.


That said, success! My confidence in my bleed was misplaced. A 12hr gravity bleed on the rear, then one on the front took care of it. High, hard pedal. I do have some Popeye arms now from unsuccessful vac pump bleeding, and the traditional pedal bleed didn't get it either. Gravity is your friend.

A tip to pass along, the Bosch 3,4,5.1 high temp fluid gives much improved brake "feel" and doesn't hemorrhage out the MC cap vents when you make the fronts go away with extreme use.

Thanks all, I learned a lot going down rabbit holes troubleshooting a basic problem. Once again the KISS principle proves its self once again.
