That little morsel of information just saved me a trip to the stealership!

I installed Goodridge stainless steel brake lines on Sunday and after bleeding all the lines I had a "swiiiish" sound with about 20% brakes at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Bled them again, no difference. Read this thread and realized there were both inner and outer bleed points on each caliper. Went back out and bled inner, then outer like Fishdaddy recommended. The rear brakes didn't seem to have any air trapped, but the front inner calipers had numerous air bubbles! Fired it up when I finished and pedal is perfect - brakes are back baby!!! Thank you Fishdaddy
