Are you sure you mounted the caliphers with the bleeder screws on top I have seen people mount them upside down just a thought.

 

Is there is deff no air in the system?
do you have abs?

 

That's a problem, I seen that once before.

 

Did you adj. rear shoes before bleeding them? Easy to overlook when frustrated by time constraints and standard xj money pit problems! Not assuming you don't know, just know about being frustrated!!!

 

what about rear wheel cylinders .. they leaking like crazy? do you have any fluid loss?

 

do your calipers work? take it off the rotor and push the brakes and see if it clamps down.. by the way you need a c clamp to push it open after you do that to get it back on the rotor

 

If you pump the pedal a bunch of times does it gain resistance? If so then I'd go along with the other guy that said the rear pads aren't adjusted properly. Are you using one of those bleeder bottles when you bleed?
If not how are you bleeding them?
