Thanks for this awesome DIY. I bled my brakes yesterday and I thinkeverything went smoothly. Prior to bleeding, I installed new rotors and pads. After bleeding the brakes, I was able to push the brake pedal all the way to the ground before it started to feel firm. It's firm now and the car stops great.

My question is, would pumping the brakes before I started bleeding them have resulted in better pedal feel? In other words, did that initial pump of the brake pedal that went to the floor cause air to be introduced into the system? Should I re-bleed my brakes?
