[s-cars] Rear brake saga - DOH!

So, I work with the vacuum bleeder, and could see why folks like a
pressure bleeder. I had no idea what was bubbles from inside the
caliper, and what was leak-around from the bleeder screw threads. So
I just sucked a long time.
But it wasn't enough, because I was an idiot. See, I hooked up the
calipers and lines and all, then left the thing overnight without
bleeding it. I can see now that this wasn't such a good idea.
*sigh*.
I bagged the bleeding of the clutch - holy crap, you need arms like
Freddy Krueger to get to that nipple!
I'm gonna give the thing another go tonight - maybe I can get all the
air out. I mean, when I took the thing for a drive, I had brakes, it
was just that they were really spongy and weak. Yup, I get "Moron of
the Week" for this week, I guess.
Along that line - errr, where does the brake like hook up on those Big
Reds? All I see are bleeder screws. I are confused.
Thanks for all the help, guys.
Deflated,
Eric
