Good ideas on the bleeding technique. I usually have a partner to help me with that so I'm not too worried about it. I do have speed bleeders which I'd rather use, but 1 of the bleeders wouldn't thread into the caliper so I opted not to install them cause on the back my rears are different thread sizes too. I didn't wanna mix it up.
I was wondering if the popping was the brake pedal itself as well, but that would seem odd. The popping happens when I get the pedal all the way down and then it gives (goes down) just a tiny tiny bit and makes the popping sound very subtle like. I know its not the booster cause I replaced that. I guess I could go down there and try to jostle the pedal at its bushing and see if it moves much. If so then buy a bushing kit for it.
1. What do you/ya'll think of emptying the brake fluid completely and running compressed air through the system with 1 caliper (or line just before the caliper) open at a time?
2. What about spraying brake parts cleaner in the lines and then forcing it through with slow compressed air. Let sit and then high compressed air it out LIBERALLY? I know I've seen several warnings about not putting anything near brake parts unless its brake fluid, but we all know this stuff dries up very well and i'd be immediately forcing it out of the system with lots of 50 - 60psi compressed air. My hunch is that there is junk caught at the junction metering valve that simply won't come out with regular flushes.

They actually make tools to flush brake systems, one end hooks up to the bleeder, the other to the reservior, it circulates the entire system through. I don't know how much they cost, for something like that, I'd find a reputable brake specialist shop and have them check your brakes......which, if after you replace that valve, it's no different, I'd recommend taking somewhere. Brakes are the one thing, that
MUST be working properly or serious injury can occur....
