Jeff-
I've changed my rear brakes twice and I've never had to crack a bleeder in
order to get
the pistons to retract.

I would not have cracked the system to change the pads and would have
definitely started
the car and pumped the brakes to get the rear calipers to adjust before
doing a full system bleed.

Did you get clean fluid both times you bled the brakes? No bubbles?

I would keep bleeding- I've had to bleed the full system twice to get a firm
pedal- the ABS
pump makes things difficult.

Was this a pressure bleed system or a vacuum bleed?

Taka
