I'm wondering if your brake booster might be leaking. Do you hear any hissing noises when your press the brake pedal?

The brake pistons can get corroded as the pads wear and they extend further out of the caliper. Then when you re-compress the pistons the corroded area comes back into contact with the cylinder and seals and they don't seal properly anymore.

Thnaks for your thoughts. No power booster, manual only. I have been pumping the pedal and my mechanic turning the bleeders. Maybe next time I'll switch spots with him. No hissing. the car has only 3000 miles on it so they are not likely to be corroded in the extended cylinders.

I believe he did RR lr rf and lf which should be the correct order.
