Try gravity bleeding make sure master cylinder is full put cap back on press brake pedal a few times remove cap put catch pan under caliper that you are going to bleed open bleeder screw to caliper let drip into pan once there is a nice steady drip close bleeder screw keep close watch of brake fluid in master cylinder do not let run dry. Do this to each caliper.
