It takes work to get air in the lines. You would have had to loosen the brake line at the caliper or the bleeder nipple. I doubt that you did either.

To remove air from the lines, you will need a can of DOT4 brake fluid and a pump or helper to pump the brakes. The manual system requires a bit of finese because the fluid reservoir can not be allowed to get low.

Take a look at the 700/900 FAQs to learn how to bleed the brake lines.

You did use brake grease on the slide pins after you cleaned them, right?
