Here's one thing I don't understand: the brake fluid reservoir has some air in it above the max fill level, and it also has a vent hose which you need to clamp before you can pressure-bleed the system. So how come, in normal operation, pushing the brake pedal doesn't just raise the fluid level in the reservoir, even to the point of pushing it out the vent tube?

I just bled my brakes for the first time after replacing my brake light switches. The pedal feels firmer, but I think it's still squishy. Maybe I need to think about the matter cylinder seals...
