Trying bleeding all four wheels. When you did the caliper, you may have let the master cylinder run dry. That may have caused one or more of the other lines to get air in them. Also, are you doing it with a helper or trying to do it alone? Someone should pump the brake a few times and then hold it to the floor while you tighten the bleeder screw.
