It all sounds so easy when reading it in the book, or as other have said, "all you have to do is pump the brake peddle". It seems like we get different results depending who is doing it.
I have no idea what I did to finally wake it up, but it works. I don`t know what the answer is, Dumb Luck?
I would give you a hand if we were closer.

Hmmm... when I did it before, I was opening and closing the caliper bleeder, but I don't really see how that would make a difference... maybe closing off the slave bleeder between allows less air to bubble in around the threads? Still just doesn't seem very likely.
I am actually in the East Bay, so I'm not all
that far away, but I am fine continuing to fiddle with it on my own for now. I'll figure it out some day, maybe today!
