My master cylinder is quite a bit higher up than all of my brakes, so I didn't install an residual pressure valves. I put in the new master cylinder today, and things were a bit stiffer, but not as great as I had hoped. So I took of the calipers and tilted them so that the bleeder valve was straight up and sucked some of the fluid out, hoping to get any trapped air. That stiffened them up a bit more. I still think I need to adjust the rear brakes a little better. I also realized that one of my (re-manufactured) wheel cylinders is leaking just a little bit, so after replacing that I'll have to see what happens. Anybody else have any other suggestions?
