Default Bleeding brakes on 83 UR Quattro

Hi Guys,

I replaced the brake master cylinder on my 83 Ur Quattro because it was the original. Unfortunately the pedal was not what I consider to be a hard brake pedal by today's standard, after replacing the B-master cylinder I hoped I would a harder pedal. But It did not turn out that way.
I bled the master cylinder on the car, but I did not bleed all four corners. I did not think I need too. Does anyone have any advice/suggestions etc. Would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Default Just Bled Mine

Most definately need to bleed them. Be careful when you turn the bleed screw. Hopefully you have rubber covers on the ends so they are clean and not corroded. After bleeding I drove the car bedded in the new pads and then rebled to get a fairly firm pedal.
