Just a thought, make sure you've got the calipers on the correct side. The bleeder screw should high up top. If both bleeders are below the middle of the piston area more towards the bottom than top, then they are switched. You won't get a good bleed, air will be trapped in the caliper, resulting in a spongy pedal and erratic braking. Also check the amount of fluid coming out of each caliper when bleeding, should be similar side to side.
Pace & Raymon are on target about the hoses & anti-sieze. There is usually a white line along the length of the rubber hose and it shouldn't be twisted after installation. Also, a brake hose can collapse inside and not show externally, gives you nothing but grief.
Good luck. Not to worry, you WILL eventually fix it.
