Hello Barry,
            If you are having continual problems getting the air out the system, particularly one side only, check for some type of leak where it could be drawing air in, like the bleeder screw, or cracked hose, or bad caliper seal.  Or somehow the master cylinder when dry, and sometime vacuum or pressure bleeders may be need to cure the problem. I don't usually open the bleeder to return the caliper back in, I just push the fluid back into the system to avoid air bubble problems like you are describing, for future reference.  I hope this helps.
