Take the pressure bleeder off and fill the master cylinder by hand. All the way up to the lip of the fill neck -- this will fill the rear chamber. You cannot see it except at exactly the right angle from the front looking through the filler neck, it's way back there.
I'm not convinced a pressure bleeder will keep the rear full properly, the slot if fills through is pretty small.
I would also get a MitiVac and vacuum bleed the rear lines. The vaccum will expand the air bubbles rather than squashing them down like pressure bleeders do.
Also check to make sure the bleeder valve is on the TOP of each caliper as installed -- they fit very nicely on the wrong side of the car, just upside-down! You will bleed fluid until the end of time and never get the air out with the bleeder on the bottom.
Don't laugh, several people on the forum have done this, and the only reason I haven't is that I only take one off at a time, else I would get them backwards all the time!
