Just to be clear- I am not a Napa salesman! I just know that they carried the style wheel cylinders that worked for me while the other chain stores I checked here carried the ones that didn't work.

I would be willing to bet that your M/C is fine. But you are right that brake parts from the local discount stores can't really be trusted. If you read all the way through the other thread, you may remember that my rod was too long between the M/C and booster even though I bought them as a matched and assembled set. I figured that one out pretty quickly, but it took a while to chase down the wheel cylinder problem.

Whatever bleeding method you use, your pedal should firm up right away if the wheel cylinders are the fix. After bleeding what seemed like gallons through my brakes it only took a few minutes to get the system clear of bubbles after replacing the cylinders.
