I have a simlar problem with my 1990 Dodge Dynasty, 3.3 L V6, Bosch III ABS. In the Chilton manual, it says 1. Depressurize the accumulator (depress the brake pedal many times with the ignition OFF until pedal pressure feels different--it will get much harder). It takes me about thirty strokes, but Chilton says do 50 just for safety's sake. 2. Connect bleed hose with catch-container to caliper bleed screw. 3. Pump the brake pedal slowly 2 or 3 times and hold it down. 4. With pressure still on the pedal, open the bleed screw at the caliper and allow fluid to flow until pressure is relieved completely. Tighten bleed screw. Repeat with each caliper in this order: left rear, right rear, left front, right front. Hopefully, this will work for you, but after performing this twice, it hasn't eliminated the springy feel at the bottom of the pedal travel for me. I don't think, at this point that my problem is an air bubble, because the brakes are firm (no springiness, no fade) when the accumulator is discharged. I am faced with the $1,100 repair bill (which I paid 110, 000 miles ago for the same problem). Now the car isn't worth that much.

To bleed the brakes on a 1973 Dodge Challenger, start by ensuring the brake fluid reservoir is full. Begin with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder, typically the right rear, and have an assistant pump the brake pedal several times and hold it down. While they hold the pedal, open the bleeder valve on the brake caliper to release air and fluid, then close the valve before they release the pedal. Repeat this process in the order of right rear, left rear, right front, and left front, checking the fluid level regularly.
