Hi Andrew

This happened to me before. You need pressure bleeder. If you don.t have one
try to gravity bleed, but that may not work. I use Gunsen's pressure bleeder
that uses compressed air from a tire. Vacume bleeder never worked  for me.
If you get too much boubles from front calipers just keep tapping them and
the air will eventually will come out. If you gravity bleed remove bleeder
valves completly.
Gunsens pressure bleeder is sold by Moss motors in Dover NJ mailorder for
about $20.00
