Got everything back together, new rotors, s/s hoses, etc., etc. - lastly
taking the recent listers advice of wrapping the threads of the bleeder
valves with teflon tape.
Starting at the right rear - ok, left rear - ok.  Then, when doing the
right front, it didn't seem to have any "push".  Started looking around
for a puddle of fluid.  Found it in the engine bay next to the master
cylinder.  Specifically, under the three way union that houses the
"pressure warning switch" for dual line systems.  Cleaned everything up,
verified that all is tight and started again.  Fluid is no longer
leaking -- nor can I seem to develop any pressure to push fluid from a
bleeder valve.
Would greatly appreciate the answer.

Best regards,
Ed Hamilton
