alright - got the brakes adjusted and got fluid coming out of all 4 wheel cylinders. Started bleeding the brakes tonight. Got one round in, but the pedal still isn't right. Feel to bad to try again, so I'll have to leave it for another day. Almost there! :D

One guy pumping the pedal and holding while another opens and closes the bleeder. Do that until no more air comes out.
