Okay guys......the brake saga continues.....

Thanks to Ian, Peter and Stott for the quick replies.....I have re-bled the system, and although I seemed to squeak out a few more tiny bubbles, I've still got my caliper issues.....it seems like they retract ever so slightly, but still make contact with the rotor.  It was said that it may be the Master Cylinder that is keeping the fluid from returning.....any way to test this theory besides throwing a new MC at it?  Any way of freeing up what may be stuck in the MC?  If I do need a new MC, any sources?  Unfortunately I am running out of time before a big road trip next week and I need my car......thanks for all the help!

BTW, the CV boot r&r went fantastic!  thanks to those who advised!

Best regards,

Jim Fleischer
running out of time......
