And just to make sure, are the calipers installed on the correct sides (with bleed nips facing up)? I ask, because people here with similar bleeding difficulties discovered that they had installed the calipers on the wrong sides (bleed nips facing down).
Ya I tapped all around the calipers while pressure bleeding.

I only did one caliper at a time but I have also double checked the bleeders are at the top.

Was thinking about running a liter straight through pressure bleeding with all the bleeders cracked at the same time.
