just keep at it...
i highly recommend speed bleeders. they work amazingly well. after i changed my front calipers it seriously took about 2 minutes to bleed my brakes, by myself.
theyre like $13 a pair. totally worth it. Russel makes them, so you can get em at autozone or whatever.
Front- SB8100 M8 X 1.0 1.28" (35.54mm)
Rear- SB7100 M7 X 1.0 1.38" (35.15mm)
oh, and i didnt bench bleed my master either. just pour and pump. i would keep going with a caliper until you run a whole master full of fluid through it with no air bubbles. sometimes it'll take like 10 pumps of nice solid fluid, before a bubble will appear.
