Fred, like most of us with your type of brake system I've been there - done that.

BG had some good info. Of course, if the whole system is new there "shouldn't" be any bent or worn parts.

More than once on mine I've had to put the car up REAL high on one end at a time and let it sit overnight to get all the air bubbles to migrate to the bleeders.

I've also noticed that the pedal will get better after the pads are bedded in.
