Try to get the air out of the toe brake master cylinders first. After doing  
several toe brake installs, always had a hard time with air in the top of 
pedal  cylinders. Radically applying the brakes will show the air in the lines 
above  the cyl. bleeding out at the top of the cyl. works well. We also had 
success in  pumping up the brakes and then creating a vacuum on the reservoir so as 
to  retract the brake caliper pistons. This will squeeze all the air out of 
the  caliper and at least you can see where it is. Any air bubbles in the top 
of the  system will come to the reservoir. Keep trying it gets better.
