Bleed the brakes from the farthest point of the hydraulic system to the nearest in relation to the M/C. In other words:

1) passenger rear right
2) passenger rear left
3) passenger
3) driver

Also, what is your method of bleeding the brakes? The easiest way I have found it without any assistance is simply putting a piece of tubing on the bleed port while the end of the tubing is kept submerged in a hydraulic fluid. Then pump it.... do this in the order of what I mentioned above.

By keeping the tubing submerged, it allows the air to escape while the port sucks in fluid during the "upstroke".

Try it out. Goodluck!

ok i think ima try the bleeding first and see how that goes adn then try the m/c if the bleeding again doesnt get it, and is the 40/40 prop. valve needed because i have heard in many places that it isnt but have also heard that it is, so i changed to the 40/40 but should i change back?
and what about the ebrake cable, how can i tell if thats the right one, i mean it fits on there and works but it doesnt fit in that one bracket that bolts to the floor behind your handle like the stock ones did and the pull seems a lot harder is that normal?

well if you changed out the M/C then you have to bleed that first. its call bench bleeding kind of. but you changed out everything i read. but you have to start like thermal said. i did that and it worked perfic for me. but you need to do it just like he said. now your brake cables should be longer then what you need. but right before you put them in the cab you need to swap them around. the left rear goes in the right side of the e brake side when you sit in your car. what i did is i used the teg mount and broke off the side tabs so the center console will still go on. before you tighten down your holding bracket pull your e-brake so that the metal ends of the cable are all the way forward. then you tighten. after that you want to check and see if it is working. if it seems to hard you might want to oil the cables and the caliper. if you can. i didnt have to do this. i didnt change out anything like the M/C P/P B/B. i used everything stock on the car. and if you pull all the way up you might want to checked and see if all the holding brackets are hooked on for the cable.
