rick d,

I learned that the inside needs to be bled first, having two bleeders at one caliper. Does that depend on the calipers?

when using a brake bias bar always bleed front and rear at the same time, start with the one farthest from the master cylinder (passenger side).

you may want to tap the calipers lightly with a plastic hammer to untrap little air bubbles and don't push the pedal too fast, which may lead to cavitation and even more bubbles.

are your bleeders pointing up?

a common mistake when using Jaguar XJ calipers is mounting them left to right and the bleeders point down.

good luck,

dominik
