    There could be some air left in the system, just compessing in the system somewhere. I take it there are no leaks. Also, what were the bleed nipples like to remove and replace? When I did mine, the rear calliper nipples were a bit suspect to do back up and needed extra tightening. Really should change them as they’re in the boot of my car.
