also double check that the beeld nipples are at the top!! a common mistake is to put the calipers on the wrong sides causing the nipples to be at the bottom of the caliper.

there is a few ways  here is how I do it ,  Have some one sit in car  ,  go to back wheel  have the person just press on the pedal and follow it down and open the bleed screew , bleed it till the liquid is clear of bubbles , close the screew,  if one pedal push is enough close the bleed screew and have the person re pump up the  brakes and follow the pedal down as you bleed again,   continue with each wheel ,  if after the 4  th wheel you still have soft pedal , do it again ,   check for liquid level once and a while ,   bleed into a cup and discard what you bleed out ,  brake fluid peels paint  wipe up and spill quickly .   It also helps to pump the brakes a few times  between  each wheel .
