That was it. Flipped calipers, bled as usual and now have rock hard brakes again.

Love it when the basics fix a problem! Glad you didnt spend big dollars on parts and services not needed. Id call said shop and let them know they missed a simple one.

The shop told me that my master cylinder was bad, that they had tested it and it was bad. They knew it was the master cylinder, just knew it.

Have to love those easy fixes. I also did the same thing on a buddy's Bronco years ago but on the front calipers. I must have bled a gallon of fluid before I realized the calipers were on the wrong side.
