from what ur saying i think u blead them wrong. its release bleeder, pump once, close bleeder while pedal is all the way down. also make sure the reservuar never goes empty, if it does i think ur funked. the last thing u can do is get speed bleeders (speedbleeder.com) theyn work real easy and work well. also chek all connections and make sure nothing is leaking. ive been through this lots of times. good luck.
