If a 2nd person is available--just have them hold pressure on the brake pedal starting from the wheel farthest away from the master cylinder--with the pedal depressed slightly open the caliper bleeding screw until a bit of fluid(approx 1/4 oz) comes out & then tighten the bleeding screw, all done with the brake pedal being depressed. Make sure the master cylinder reservoir doesn't become empty during the brake bleeding process which can happen if excessive fluid is bled out of the calipers. .
UNFORTUNATELY I owned a business named Brake Express in Calif for 7 yrs. The only vehicle we ever had a problem with was a few of the Dodge which required pumping the brake pedal 40 times--Not 35, after we finished, The Dodge had a brake accumulator in the ABS section & it required the additional 40 pumps on the brake pedal to solve & complete the process.

CAUTION: Brake fluid eats paint. You can poor or spray oil or gasoline on your paint job & it will clean off--especially with a waxing compound. If you happen to let a few drops of "BRAKE FLUID" spray on your paint--nothing short of a new paint job will cure the problem.
