After all this work I can't test drive it for a while or until 18" of snow melts in my neighborhood.
Thanks.
I have never had the girling cans, but I have heard some stories that they can leak and become troublesome. If you are getting plenty of fluid while bleeding and it seems to flow equally front vs back while pumping the pedal while bleeding you should be OK. Did you notice that one or more of the calipers seemed to be struggling more to get fluid to flow out?
