Got the brakes bled and have a firm pedal at half travel. Set up a remote fill bottle on the master cylinder, and used my compress air-powered vacuum bleed which works great working by yourself. Pulled 2 quarts of brake fluid through the system in less than 30 minutes. I spun and pulled on the front hubs to check the bearings, and the right front moved in and out a 1/4 inch which didn't seem like something I wanted to see. Pulled it apart and all the outer ball bearings fell out of the cage, which the out half had worn off after looking at the good side, and the inner bearing race was bad too. Good thing I pulled it apart because both front wheel cylinders are leaking too. I think the shoes will be fine for now. The fun continues and I don't need to call the insurance company for another week now.
