thanks Paul...

bench bled the master before I installed it, and didn't touch anything else (pads, calipers, rotors are all untouched). No rear proportioning valve, though there are two pressure regulating valves that reduces hydraulic pressure to rear brakes to help prevent rear wheel lock up under hard braking (this is according to the Bentley manual). I tried knocking them with a rubber mallet while bleeding, and didn't do anything. No air bubbles visible anywhere...

was gonna try the gravity feed one, but thought I'd do it one better and put some pressure (motive bleeder) through it, and that was my last resort. Now I'm stuck.

I've done many cars before without bench bleeding the master first, and they've always had a hard pedal in the end. But this one I actually did bench bleed...

Car does not have ABS.

thanks all!
