Can you borrow an easi bleed from someone and pressure bleed it?

I'm sure your bleeding from nearside rear first then load valve then nearside front the offside front?

Have you checked the new connections for leaks if you fitted longer flexi hoses?

Top up the brake fluid after about 5 pumps when bleeding

Have you checked the rear brakes are adjusted properly. Had all the symptoms you described after over hauling the full brake system on my Subaru Justy.
Turned out rear brakes needed adjusting up

If in doubt ...... Flat out ??

Just ordered an easy bleed system and will look at the rear brakes. Did have them apart not that long ago and adjusted them up but not harm in doing it again.
