I hate bleeding brakes, but I am about to start tonight as well. 3 new hoses and all new wheel cylinders.

Things I learned today:
1. You really gotta push the plunger in deep enough to be sure you bleed both front and back halves. You will see the fluid level drop as it replaces the air.
2. There definitely is a leak in the one line I haven't changed yet. The long one running in the tranny tunnel. It seems to have been about to leak for some time, until my mucking around with the other lines finished it off. It was leaking where a slightly rotated clamp dug in. I don't see a leak, but the undercoating around it is soft and mushy.
