>If the pedal still remains 'soft' you can also use this device to force brake fluid through the bleeder and fill the system this way.  The air gets purged through the master cylinder reservoir.  To use the tool this way just remove the hose from the vacuum port on the pump and attach it to the pressure port.  Fill the MightyVac reservoir with new brake fluid and start pumping with the bleeder open.  Watch the master cylinder until there are no more bubbles.  I have found this second method to be the only thing that works with systems that tend to trap air.  If all else fails take it to the dealer and let them go crazy with it.  Hope this helps.

We have fully replaced the brake fluid for the rear breaks.  The pedal
is still mushy.  We were having trouble finding the MightyVac, but are
hunting again, as we want to try Dan's suggestion.

Today we also picked up the right fairing piece which will replace the
piece that met the garage floor.  One difference:  The old piece has
heavy foam in the interior and the new piece has none!  You can't really
take the foam off of the old piece an put it on the new, either, without
ripping it.  From its placement, I figure the foam it to protect the
engine/radiator, etc., in a lay down and perhaps for sound dampening. 
As it stands, I've put the new piece on, without any foam. Should I
address this with my dealer or just not worry about it?
