dwdawg, run up to Home Depot/Lowe's/etc and get yourself some clear tygon tubing the size needed to fit snuggly on the nipple of your brake calipers (5/32 as I recall, but don't quote me on that).

After getting the tubing, cut off a 4-5 foot piece. You want it long enough to run from the caliper, up to the top of the wheel well and back to the ground. Also get your hands on a glass jar that is clean.

What you are going to do is to first start at the right rear of your car. Remove the tire so you can access the caliper. Now, attach the tubing to the nipple and run it up to the top of the wheel well and using some masking tape, tape the hose in place (piece of tape on each side of center) and then let the tubing hang loose to the ground. Put the open end of the hose in the glass jar under the brake rotor. Now, make sure the brake fluid reservoir is full. Using a wrench, crack open the bleed port(nipple) and pump the brakes a few times (5 or so). Verify you have sufficient fluid in the brake fluid reservoir (add more fluid if necessary, don't want to risk getting any air in the brake system). Go back and look at the tubing. Is the fluid clear and fairly bright in color? If no, pump the brakes a few more times. Repeat pumping the brakes and checking the fluid for a bright/clear look (make sure to add fluid as necessary to prevent any air addition. Once the fluid is bright/clear, look at the highest point of the tubing. Do you see any air bubbles? If yes, pump the brakes a few more times, recheck. If no air, close the nipple and remove the tubing. Reinstall the wheel.

Repeat this process going from right rear wheel, to left rear wheel, to right front wheel, to left front wheel. Each time pumping the brakes until the fluid is bright/clear in appearance and you are getting no air in the lines. If you have one wheel that seems to be unable to clear the air in the system, you more than likely have either a bad caliper (ie, ripped boot, but should be visable with fluid on the caliper/rotor) or you have a pinhole leak in a brake line (allowing air to enter the system, but should be visable when stepping on the brakes as fluid will be coming out).

As long as you keep fluid in the reservoir at all times and don't allow air to enter at that point, you would have a nice firm feel to your pedal once you have done all 4 wheels.

 

few things if you have got all the air out
have you broken in the pads?are they factory pads?what brake fluid did you use?
also IF you have adjustable pedals and they are set to the furthest position,you pedal will seem softer
