I have a 2013 dodge charger rt and just replaced my front drivers side caliper. I put the caliper on tightened everything down and topped off the fluid then began to bleed the brakes with a friend just like I've done every other car. I opened the bleeder valve had my friend apply pressure then I closed the valve and let him release (correct right?). We kept doing this time and time again with no increase in brake pressure. Any ideas? Never had this issue
I have also after trying to do just the one brake with no luck taken all 4 wheels off and bleed each caliper from back to front with no change at all. And yes brake fluid is coming out of each caliper no problem like it should and isn't even bubbley.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Nothing

Have helper pump up brake pedal and HOLD PRESSURE on the pedal while you bleed air - tighten the bleeder screw - THEN helper can release brake pedal ..
IF this issue wasn't part of the original problem - there IS air still trapped in the system!
Continue bleeding until brake pedal is as it should be.
Clean all brake fluid from the caliper and brake hose - CLOSELY inspect for any sign of brake fluid leakage where the hose screws into the caliper while helper applies brakes - - while checking for leak - idling engine will allow more pressure to be put on system and make any leaks more pronounced.
