If the master cylinder has air in it, will bleeding at the wheels remove
that air, or does it need to be bled in a separate procedure?

Yea I guess I could try that. I had planned on just letting them
adjust out on their own.

So have you adjusted out the rear brake drums? If not, that would be my
next move.

Ok, I a bled the crap out of it. I did the bleeder at the abs unit,
then did all the wheels again started and RR, the LR, RF, LF. I ran
about 3qts of fluid thru it. At all wheels I have clean fluid and no
bubbles coming out. Took it out and it still has very little braking.
Pedal goes probably 3/4 of the way to the floor till any sort of
braking
action happens. It will stop, but not very fast and would not stop
pulling a trailer. Even if the back brakes were not fully adjusted out
yet it would be better than this. When I pump the pedal it does return
but its not an instant return as soon as you left off the pedal. Also,
when just holding steady pressure at about the half pedal travel or
oven
3/4 travel pedal does not sink it seems to stay steady. Also, the red
brake lite is on that would come on if the parking brake is on, the
manual says this indicates a brake problem. No joke. I really do not
see how I could still have air in the lines. Brakes are worse than
they
were before I replaced the rear wheel cylinders but they were never
very
good in the first place. The front calipers and hoses are fairly
new also.
