TJL,

If you had normal braking before you attempted this, and as you verified the brake still works normal at the position in question, then.... remove the bleeder screw once more and probe inside the caliper hole very gently. I'm guessing that the caliper has not been flushed for some time and the crud that accumulates has settled in that area.

If after probing that port and no fluid shoots out and soaks you, (please wear protective face gear) then move up to where the brake line enters the caliper. Crack the fitting open a little bit, then start the car and press on the brake pedal to see if any fluid seeps out. If your brakes are really working it will seap fluid, then tighten the fitting. Should this be the case, then the brake caliper is plugged up and you may need to take it off to clean or replace it. You can try the probing trick again to see if it will clear the crud, if it does continue bleeding until it is flushed out and clean fluid is verified. Let us know what you find.
