THANK YOU for being so perserverant (sp?).

So the pedal did go hard with the "Foster Tube Clamp Method" (FTCM). Was it instantly hard? (you know like when you were a teenager) or did it take a few pumps? (don't GO there). Serious question.

I shotgun think they have some bad MC's in stock.....that were hard with the FTCM, but wouldn't move enough fluid to bleed all air. The little work you did make the thing do, killed it.

There is still the remote possibility that your front piston seals on your (rebuilt?) calipers are iffy as well.
