Hi Super tech, We just kept bleeding the system over and over and its finally OK. Any idea why it was such a hassle?   Thanks - 49er

There might have been some air trapped in the ABS valves, that will do it to ya sometimes. I have had some that when I came in the next morning, Poof.. the pedal was good. Like it just had to sit for a while..??

Anyway, I'm glad you got brakes now.... I hate driving without them!..... lol
