Cool. I took a look at my FSM last night and it talked about draining the master cylinder and one other item before going to the wheels... Did you do this or is this only when rebuilding the system/replacing the master cylinder?

Subject: DML: RE: Bleeding The Brake Lines

Funny this subject should come up as I just flushed my brake lines Saturday
on my '98 4X4. I bled them in the following order: Right rear, left rear,
right front, left front. I removed the front wheels to do the calipers, but
did not for the drums. Under my 4X4, there is enough room to work without
removing the wheels, but not by much. After looking at the fronts, I wasn't
about to torture myself when pulling the wheel is so easy.
 
BTW, my brakes have quite a bit more authority since the flush.
