This might sound silly, but let it sit overnight and try it again.... if 
you've been vigorously bleeding the air out, it can break up into bunches of 
tiny 
bubbles (insert don ho music here) that just don;'t wanna come out. Those 
caliper crossover tubes can be a pain w/ lots of air in the system too. 

If you let it sit, the air will collect together and come out in one big 
bubble. 

OH yeah.... didja bleed just the master cyl first ? That might help as well. 
Air tends to get trapped in there and not make it through the entire system. 

Try the little stuff first before spending $$$ on the power bleeder. (Of 
couse, it iS a neato toy to have !!)
