That is how I do it also makes it easier than trying to push it all the way back to master cylinder.

He had the brakes bled and the fluid changed. Said there was a little air in there. Said the brakes feel a little better, but still a tad soft.

Some new pads do feel soft but if he beds them they will be ok.
Glad they got the air out I was sure that was what it was air is the only thing that can cause a spongy pedal.

Doing my brakes next. Only, I am doing brake lines, rotors, calipers, and pads, along with idler arms, tie rods(inner/outer), center link bar, ball joints (upper and lower), wheel bearings, and whatever else I can think of while tearing everything apart..
