That makes 3x now! lol

Ii didnt do it exactly like that. I wasnt paying much attention. But Ii did start at the rear, just the drivers side. and i did the drivers side first when i moved to the front too. but i bled the system 3 times. each time, i did each valve 5 times. So Im not sure if the correct procedure of just switch which side i did first after all that insane amount of bleeding with help or not. Do you think it will help, just changing the direction even after all that? Im willing to try anything right now if its worth trying.

I would try doing it correctly once as it makes a difference. Only two things can come about from it, both of which are sorta good. One, it fixes the problem. Or two, it at least rules out air being in the system.

Well, Camaro 69, you were right, it wasn't the brake booster!
And MK, you better be coming down to my event next week. By the way, we found out tickets for fast 6 are available for 10pm at the downingtown theater. You can order them on fandango. And you better get down here! Mainly because I wouldnt have tried doing it the correct way until you pushed for me to do it!
Just changing what side I did first let out an insane amount of air and the pedal is nice and stiff again. I really didnt think that just changing sides would make that much of a difference.

Keep an eye on it and pay attention to how the brake pedal feels as time goes by. That air came from somewhere. Calipers or wheel cylinders that have a bad seal can suck in air.

Alright, will do! I checked the rear wheel cylinders as you said. Everything is dry. But I understand that doesn't mean it cant suck air in and just reseal with outward pressure.

Glad to know it worked out being simple like that.

I will really try. That weekend is a pay weekend so money will be there, but it's also the only weekend my one friend will be home as she starts a new job in Ohio and anothers last weekend home for his new job in Pittsburgh, on top of trying to get a weekend off work is going to be hard to make it but I will try to work something out.
