Ok listers,
 The brake pedal is firm when traveling forward.  When I go into reverse 
and then forward the pedal gets very soft and I have to pump the pedal 
to get pressure back up.  After that all is well until the next time I 
have to back up out of a parking space.  Any ideas?  The entire brake 
system has been rebuilt (calipers, master cylinder, rear wheel 
cylinders, proportioning valve, hoese) and I am running Silicon DOT 5. 
 I had heard that bad wheel bearing might be cause this kind of thing, 
but when you go around corners.
Thanks in advance
