what do you mean they have 4 bleed nipples,
the nipples that you bleed must be at the top in order to get the air out!

May be a case of putting them on and bleeding the tops ones,
taking them of keeping the pads on the disc and making sure the bottom nipples are higher that the top ones and then bleed again

Hope you understand that cos i dont

surely there should only be 2 bleed niples, one for each side of the calliper ?

looked at a pic of my reylands

air rises yes with our race cars where we run 4 pots and they sit horizontal on the disc, we take them off and move them so the nipples are at the top were bledding, we then invert them to do the other calipers,

get a nice pedal feel and then bolt them back on
