Do not pump the pedal, do this instead.

Open the brake bleeder.
Have somebody slowly push down on the pedal, hold.
Close the bleeder.
Release the pedal.

It will push the air out, do it a couple times to each bleeder and its done.

Ended up giving it another try this morning. Didn't have anyone available to help so tried this method of hose in a bottle with fluid in bottom and leaving the bleeder open. Seemed to work well and I now have a firm pedal... may still do it again when I have a 2nd person available before the car is officially on the road again, but for now I'm happy with it.
