The brake pedal will pump up, but will not stay.
This may be due to air in the brake system.
Either that or it needs some Viagra.

All I did to the rear axle driver side was replace a crown nut that was 
ate/missing.  Rebuilt both wheel cylinders on the rear passenger side and 
installed new seals.
Also, put a kit in the master cylinder, because the pedal would not stay up, 
but the problem remains.

The book says that this type of brakes need to be pressure bled.  It has a 
hydrovac, which I bled #-1 and then #-2, manually.  Also, bled all six wheel 
cylinders, manually.

What type of pressure bleeder should I get, if any, and where?
