    Reiterate, be sure the rear brake shoes are on correctly.

    Easy way to tell this (and one I used recently myself):

    CLamp off the rubber brake lines. if the pedal goes rock-hard, it ain't air
    in the master...,grin>

    If this does happen, then release the clamps one line at a time. This way,
    you can figure out which section of the circuit is giving you grief and
    you'll know where to concentrate your efforts.

    Clamping the lines is also a good way to deal with stubborn, hard-to-bleed
    sections as the hydraulic pressure all goes to the line with the
    difficulties.
