Default Brake pedal goes half-way to the floor, only the first time


I've had that happen with a couple of vehicles after I changed the
brake shoes or pads and didn't bleed their cylinders. Bleeding
always stopped the pedal from sinking.

After I bleed brakes, I close all the bleeder screws and pump the
pedal hard a few times. Then I open each screw, and usually no
fluid comes out right away, indicating there was still some air
inside.
