Getting my *** handed to me.. these damm brakes

Another way to troubleshoot this ---assuming it's something like AJ mentioned-- is to buy a couple/ 3 inverted flare plugs and unions. This will allow you to pull loose sections of the lines, bleed it down to where you plugged it and see if the pedal gets hard. If it does, and what was plugged "does not" you have a problem in that section.

With manual 4W discs, the pedal should be ROCK HARD
