Got the little guy to play with the pedal for me so we could bleed the lines - brakes are great now.
The e-brake is now weak and goes all the way to the floor before it bites, so I'll need to fix that this weekend, but it's soooo smooth compared to where I was. I don't know what the brake shop guy was talking about when he told me my pads were fine. The inside rear pad on the right was grinding well into the metal, and the inside pad on the left was about 99% gone too.
Thx for the feedback - saved at least $400-500ish in the end for what was a pretty easy job.
