www.repairmanual.com is one place to get a factory shop manual if isn't on E-bay. Another is at www.onlinefreebooks.net .
Working on the brakes tales patience as there are some parts similar to car brake systems and others not so much. Basic metric hand tools should be all you might need. A good hand bleeding system made by Mighty Vac is what I use doing my brakes.

Anyway, I guess I'm just asking what I should check next. Please keep in mind that I haven't had the chance to pick up a service manual yet, so be as detailed as possible.
Thanks guys,

Mechanically, everything is simple and easy. Of course, dealing with a corrosive fluid is cumbersome and messy. Popping the rotors from calipers could be tricky. Best doing it with compressed air.
Most tedious and frustrating is getting rid of air in the system, once everything is together.

My front rotors were binding, also, after changing pads. Too much dirt. I changed oil and dust seals on front calipers. I have factory and Haynes manuals.

So....you're suggesting taking it all apart, cleaning and flushing the system with some fresh fluid?
