[QUOTE="henwil, post: 1414142, member: 74006"] Well it looks like you guys were spot on! After I greased the brake lever pivot it released instantly again. It does not look like there has ever been any grease on that pivot. My son helped me and first we bled the front brakes left and then right. Unfortunately we must have had a coordination issue that sucked some air, since the front brake is very soft now. We will bleed it again tomorrow to get the air out. Then we bled the linked front brake. Some air came out and instantly the softness on the rear pedal went away. Great. Then finally we bled the rear brake caliper. Tomorrow we will get the air out of the front brake line, and then I will go cycle the ABS. [/QUOTE]
