I recently replaced all my rotors/pads/rebuilt rear calipers, and after trying to bleed for ages using the pumping technique and we just couldnt get a good pedal(almost right to the floor). Thought the MC was farked.
Took it to the mechanic, and he "apparently" bled the brakes. Charged me money, I got in the car to drive away and they were only marginally better(almost - almost to the floor)
I went to the auto shop, bought a heap more fluid, then set up the car with both rear brake bleed valves running through tubing to two jars 1" full of fluid, so no air could return up the hose. Opened both valves a fair bit, so fluid was running out, then poured more fluid in the MC resevoir. Also gave it a couple of pumps and it sounded like it had a bad case of diorrhoea.
This method, repeated on the front, used heaps of fluid, but got me an even better pedal than i originally had.
