Good luck,
Yes. I am using the 2 man bleeder method. From the Haynes manual it doesnt state to start the engine to bleed the brakes. I was told that you dont have to. But I have tried it anyways, and it didnt work.

Another thing to note: When holding the pedal in and cracking open the bleeder valve on the rear calipers, the pedal doesnt sink to the floor. But for the front it does. Why is that?

I guess ill keep trying.....
