    Tried the reverse bleed - but combination if not enough room under car and the emerging size fittings/hose is not working.

    Tried the suction bleeder, works well and have pedal feel now... But still think there's too much air in the system.

      Now that you have some pedal pressure Just let it sit and pump it gently every half hour the air will rise out on its own. You can watch the bubbles come out of the hose into the reservoir.

          Bought in fall - so honestly don't recall. I believe I bought it with the braided line from CATuned.

                  How did the slave bleeding go?  What was the final fix?

                    Ha, you think that is bad?! 

                    Try doing it with a trans that is not meant for the car! I had a bear of a time doing the reverse fill on my ZF. 

                    She's looking minty!

                                My procrastination has come full circle to bite me in the ass. Why didn't I get this shit done when it was snowing sideways and crappy out.

                                  Because it is hard to find motivation then. I get what you're saying.

                                    Motivation is non existent.

                                    I'm currently contemplating how naps are more important than my car while laying on my couch.

                                        I've decided I'm pushing my luck running 16"x9" ET5 wheels on wheel bearings of unknown age/wear, so decided I need to do them ASAP.

                                        Anything I'm missing for rebuilding the rear wheel ends?:

                                        -Wheel Bearings/Races for rear.

                                        -E-brake shoes, hardware, e-brake cables.

                                        -Rear rotors/pads.

                                        I'm assuming the front bearings are pressed into the hub, any local shop should be able to press out/press in?

                                        Going to Harbor Freight to get the bearing puller everyone says works well for the rears.

                                          The front is part of the hub assembly and isn't too bad to replace=)
