    This is from a Sprint forum member ( not in here) so may be different,I do not know, but he says it is difficult to get the air out and says to get the caliper high up. text copied as below

    The back brake is a bit of a bastard to bleed. I'd pull the caliper and bungee it high up. I bungeed mine to the garage roof, but the seat / luggage rack should do. The caliper is roughly the same height as the master cylinder so it is difficult to get all of the air out. Once you've got the caliper high up, if you still can't get a good pedal, bungee the pedal down over night and have another go.

    This worked for me, your results may vary...

    may be worth a try,I dunno but good luck mate

    I know this is for a 2006 but it may be useful,maybe you missed something
