Because stock sucks...
With two people and bleeders that will come out, bleeding brakes is cake. The only time I will bleed a master is if it's a new one, then I will "bench bleed' it feeding it's output back into the reservoir. Otherwise I do a strait bleed, even if it's run out of fluid.

Oh yeah, I since had found a pin leak in the passenger front brake line. I came to the leak conclusion when I noticed the main reserve loss fluid after a test ride. Since then I had replaced the line but will not get a road test until the manual is in.
edit: I thought bleeding wasn't the issue but at the time I had no other alternatives to pursue. I was sure I had not damaged the lines when I replaced the hubs. But the wratched had struck the line w/o me knowing it. Before I found the leak, I thought maybe a small air pocket but as we can clearly see now that wasn't the case.
Bench Bleeding, that's what I did.

Small side note, a new caliper should be fairly cheap for your car and fix that bleeder good,

Yeah, I agree. I do want to upgrade the brakes down the road. For both looks and performance. Seems logical to boost the braking ability if I'm going to have fun w/ 5-Speed boosted.
