Ok, so I believe I have succesfully bled my brake lines, but I need a sanity check. The feel REALLY hard. I took a ruler to the master cylinder shaft, and it appears to only move about a quarter-inch between open and closed. By rocking the wheel with my hand I can feel that it is free with the brakes off, and that the brakes definately are gripping when applied. But they're going to be VERY touchy.
When I look at the pads, they appear to be almost touching the brake disc (rotor?) when open... i can barely see any gap. I can't really visually see the pads move when I pump the brakes.
1) Does this all sound like a normal and healthy system?
2) How much fluid should I leave in the reservoir?
