re: "...Got Mom to hold brake down a little bit...."
That scares me -- really! The trick to doing a perfect bleeding (and I've got a lot of practice, as I do it on all four of my Volvos every year, when I take off their snow tires in the spring) is to NOT touch the brake pedal. I use a pressure bleeder instead of pressing on the brake pedal. The risk is that if the pedal is pushed too far, you can destroy the seal (the same seal that is probably bad and the reason you changed the M/C), so maybe that's why the pedal went to the floor with your new M/C.
re: "...open all bleeder screws simultaneously.
This scares me even more than your mother. It's not the right way. You have to follow the proper sequence -- one of the other posts lists it, so I won't repeat it here. Yes, it's tedious, and has you running around the car several times, but it's for the unique dual-triangular circuits of the Volvo, and it's vital.
re: "... Brake Fluid Flushing Procedures. (From the Volvo Manual] The manual notes that you should de-pressurize the pressure flusher after doing each wheel, then operate the brake pedal several times, before going to the next wheel...."
Again, pressure bleeding, rather than using the brake pedal, is the best way.
Hope you have success. Regards....
