Thanks guys! Yeah learned that tip the hard way rocket. Wasted my last hour of daylight, now I have to wait till morning to try again. I started with the fronts and couldn't get rid of all the air. Thanks for the tip man. Ill bleed the rears first in the morning.

Looks great! I love my red calipers and I get more comments on that $15 mod than almost anything else on my truck.

Ok guys, had a bunch of problems bleeding the brakes, and figured it out. When I put my calipers back on, I put them on the wrong wheels. There perfectly symetrical, except for the bleed screw. I had them on so the bleed screw was on the bottom of the caliper... there was no way for the air to escape. So I swaped them the two fronts with each other so the screws were on top, and Viola! After 2 mins of bleeding they are PERFECT! Thanks all!

Here's some shots.

Notice the bleed screws on the bottom : WRONG!

Here's the finished product... bad light but they are there.

Something with a more open spoke pattern would really show off those calipers.
