Brakes are really very simple.

If you push the brake lever down does it move? If it moves does it go all the way down very easy.

It wasn't me that actually bled them...two of my friends did who've bled their brakes before without issue....

Totally not the thread I thought it would be from the homepage.

It shows up as "Rear Master..." on the hompage.

The 08 SV is ABS so be sure to verify that they interchange. I doubt it though.

I didn't know that Stephanie....so we need to find you an 03-07 master cylinder and caliper. Course there was the one for $65, still a good deal for the whole assembly I think.

Make sure the bleeder is pointing up on the rear caliper. If it's pointing down, you have to take the caliper off to bleed them to get the air out. If it's down, and they didn't take it off while they bled them, that's easy to fix cheap, and you'd probably find the new one you buy messed up too...
