Got the power bleeder bled out close to another Liter of fluid, Saw some Gunk and air bubbles come out. Did it in the farthest to closest order.
Drove the car and it is better then it was but the pedal still sinks about 2 inches on the first time and if you pump 1 or 2 times because rock hard. Is this the way 993's are? or do I still have air in the sytem somewhere?
Also how much do you open a bleeder valve? 1/2 turn? 1 turn? 2 turns?

I this does not improve, seek professional help. the car is not safe to drive.

I will do 1 more round and see if it helps.
The pedal is not that bad, I drove it with it being worse before I even started this whole process.
Thanks for the advice.

Altho somewhat OT, I want to thank GEOLAB for making this thread much more enjoyable. I never really knew that discussing brake maintenance could be so much fun! BTW, she's definitely a 993: Looks great from any angle, obviously well-built, excellent headlight design, no excess frills, enjoys getting out for exercise, etc.
