1. if you charged the repairs on a visa or mastercard or whatever, call the company and contest the charges. Explain what you wanted done and the shit job they did. They will call the company and likely you will get a full credit. How could you let them get away with that?

2. agree with posts below, gravity bleed them yourself, those 'mechanics' are idiots.

3. listen to chris herbst; the adjustable actuator rod could be the culprit

4. if that doesn't get it, then take the calipers back. from your previous post, i would start with the front left. But for the life of me, i can't see how a bad caliper can cause a soft or spongy brake without showing signs of brake fluid leaking from it somewhere?

my best wishes to you fellow brickster. with enough brainstorming, you're gonna eventually figure this out.
