Four wheel disc right?
Three thoughts
1. If you bled the system by pumping the pedal, you may have bottomed
out the piston in the master cylinder and torn a seal.
2. We always suction bleed and flush all the old brake fluid.
3. Those rear discs adjust with use of the parking brake (if they are
like I remember). Set and release the parking brake a dozen times to
make sure the rear pads seated well.
