Replaced a seized FL caliper. Wasn't smart enough to block the pedal down. During re-attachment i lost to much fluid and the reservoir went empty, only for a second but definatley empty.
I have manually bled the entire system correctly, in order etc, 4 times now yet the pedal is still soft. Too soft. I surely have air trapped somewhere. Or is it something else?
Can I get the air out or do i need to power bleed?
I have pushed over 2 litres fluid through the bleed valves so far.
The brakes were always excellent with this lower inner piston over the years getting more and more seized to the point where i decided it was time to change.

Input appreciated
