My 06 has 16,000 miles on it so figured I'd change out the brake fluid in clutch and brakes. Clutch no problem. THen to brakes. I was using a mity-vac for the first time and wife helping with keeping enough brake fluid in master cylinder(s). THe fluid drained so fast wife didn't keep up and sucked air into system on front brakes and also on front end bleeder line that seems to go to the back brakes (linked). Put more fluid through front and got the air out and it's working right. However, I've flushed the rear (both the front to back "linked line and the rear line) twice - put at least 3 pint bottles of brake fluid through, and still can't get the back to firm up. Have to depress the rear brake pedal twice as far as before to get anything to happen - just not as firm and immediate as it should be. Have done this all using mity-vac. I don't know/understand how all the "plumbing" is connected with the linked brakes and ABS. I did flush things in the order as prescribed in the shop manual.
Anyone have an idea of what else to try (some trick of the trade) to get my rear brake working right? Wife and I off on 1500 mile Yellowstone trip on Wednesday so will have to try to get it into dealer Monday or Tuesday if I can't figure it out myself.
Also the question of whether the whole ABS setup is working right - manual said to do some sort of check but I don't have the know-how/right equipment to do what they show??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
