Nate,

Are you saying that the bleeder screw is broken and you never got it out? If so I wouldn't trust that turning it over got the air out of the other hole.

I think you will have to either replace that caliper or extract that bleeder screw to solve your problem.

To test it out clamp off just that caliper and see what happens to the pedal.

I've had one caliper screw up on me like that, and found the local pic-n-pull a great place to pick up a caliper in a pinch. About $5.00, I shoot the bleed screws with PB-Blaster and make sure they are all free before I unbolt it.

Good luck,
