...Would there be a chance that I need a rebuild kit?...

There's always a chance. I don't know what condition your brake calipers are in. You do. A good indicator is to look at the dust seals. If they're cracked or split then definitely replace them and you might as well get the other bits, too. If you can't get them working smoothly then, again, rebuild.

If you don't feel 100% confident that your brakes will stop your bike then fix the problem before you really need those brakes. Think about it, if your engine doesn't work then you could be stuck walking. If your brakes don't work you could end up dead.

How exactly are you bleeding the fluid?

(Sounds like he might be just opening and draining, not pressurizing and bleeding)

It worked! Muhahaha! They stop on a dime now.

Thanks for the help everybody.

[Duddy]

I got them to work by continuing to bleed them. Took only about 10 minutes. Bled the one closest to the wheel first and then the front one. All of that stress for nothing.

Congrats dude. LOL I suggest though, next time you are going to do something for the first time check out the manual first. I know it's keep me from doing lots of stupid stuff.

The sad thing is... is that I did haha

I guess I am completely new to this stuff, but excited to learn, even if it ****es me off a few times

You learn more from your mistakes than your successes. Fact of life.

C clamp always worked for me =D. I find it to be the best method, as well as the easiest.
