Well Art, the reason I held the brake pedal down is because, well ... just do a search under brake bleeding and/or master cylinder and you will read plenty of posts authoritatively saying that is part of what needs to be done. Secondly, Haynes manual says before bleeding to pump up pedal a few times and push air out of brake booster.

And now your saying I shouldn't have ...!

(Art, that last sarcastic line is meant towards those that adocated/insisted on doing that procedure, not towards you [if it is wrong, it should have been deleted from the board, not left to remain as instructive]. Who the heck can wade thru or sort out all the darn info at this site. I think a site like this is nice but who the heck do you listen to?

Anyway, read below for my other responses. Something posted there makes no sense to me.

Art, thanks for the reply. I read some of you other posts on other subjects and they were helpful.
