rebleed?

hey guys-

I put on new brembo's, pads and bled the brakes with the Motive Power bleeder today. Went for a test drive and it stops good, but it's mushy. Is this something that will work out or do i need to rebleed??? I suspect air?

thanks,
aaron

Rebleed them. A one man kit is good but get someone to help you. Mushy brakes will never fix themselves!

FIXED!

In a great blessing/twist of fate/knowing someone that knows more than I and has done 1000's of brake jobs.....

***It's DONE!***

It stops on a penny!

NO air in the brake lines.....my back brakes were just WAY WAY WAY out of adjustment. More like they weren't even there!

more to follow!
