I might suggest getting a pressure bleeder (such as the excellent  
Motive Power Bleeder www.motiveproducts.com), filling both the brake  
reservoir and the bleeder reservoir, pumping up the bleeder, and  
releasing bleeder screws in order until each is free of bubbles, all  
the while checking the pressure bleeder reservoir to ensure it remains  
full.
