Thanks all...
I went out this morning and bled the rear brakes. Now the brakes release perfectly. I did'nt understand about the spool centering. I thought that since the rear brakes were bled and I was just working on the front system, I could just bleed the fronts to get by. I've gone thru bleeding the brakes about 8 times altogether. The whole system we bled about 5 times and just the fronts 2-3. Well, I learned something else.
Thanks again to everyone, especially Denny on this one.
