Just thought I'd post a note around an issue I created for myself. After swapping Brakes Pads and Disks all round, i had a soft brake pedal. Tried bleeding the brakes, same issue. Was driving me slightly nuts. Brakes stiffened if I pumped the pedal, anyway after more research I realised I'd put the caliper springs back on the wrong way around.
So after putting them on correctly, all issues disappeared and brakes successfully bedded in...
(Image with MB vanity plate shows correct spring position)
A simple mistake which cost hours of effort and angst. Posting this hopefully to save someone else from the same problem
