Subject:      Brake pedal pumping.

Spent today working on the van at a friends shop.  Replaced one caliper and
one rotor, and bled system.  Only replaced the one rotor that was at minimum
spec, the other was fine.  Used a new caliper to replace one that was
leaking at it's seam.

Before above work, it seemed that if I pumped the brakes one or two times
the brakes would engage higher on the pedal.....after the work, same result.

They have been bled until clear fluid comes out, no leaky wheel cylinders.
No leaks at the master, either.

Any ideas?
