My brakes are pretty good,,,,,, BUT after replacing rear cylinders, MC, front pads, and extensive bleeding I still get a little better pedal if I double pump the pedal. I am going to try bleeding the rear cylinders. My thought,,,, maybe there is still a bit of air trapped up against the rear cylinder piston or the rear shoes don't fit properly against the arc of the drums. The first pump pushing the shoes up against the drum, second pump tightens them up for braking.
There are three different pedal issues you can have. 1,,, When the pedal is pushed, it will slowly go down. This means your MC seals are shot and fluid is leaking around the seals, or you have a leak. 2,,, The pedal is spongy/soft, you have air someplace in the system. 3,,,, Having to pump the pedal to get it to the top. Something in your system needs to be pushed into position, shoes or pads, before you get a high pedal.
