Remove the bleeder screws completely. Make sure the master cyl is full at all times and let it gravity bleed untill fluid starts to drip. Install the bleeders and start bleeding.

Sometimes if the bleeders dont have caps installed to keep the dirt and dust out, it will clog and not allow them to bleed properly. I usually remove the bleeder screws and clean the orfice out with a pick. Re-install them and start bleeding.

Did you install the adjustable proportion valve? You won't have sufficient pressure to the rears. Also the car must be level or close to. Best on all four jack-stands. Make sure they are stable.....

did you start with bleeding the rears first? second dont pump the brakes that just airrates the fluid its one pump and hold then open the blled then tighten then allover again. my car was really dry from sitting and it took a good half hour. my suggestion get a vaccuum bleeder
