You gotta bleed the brakes in order. Start from furthest out from the BMC and work your way in. It takes a while. I'd look into some speed bleeders. They make the job insanely easy, as long as you keep an eye on the fluid level.

Just in making sure you are doing it right, do you have someone to help you to pump and hold the break while you loosen the valve and tighten before the helper release and pump again? The bleeding sequence usually is RR, RL, FR and then FL.
