Default Brake Bleeding

Put in new lip seals on the fronts. Installed them and had the wife help with the bleeding. Did the passenger side first then the drivers side. I could not get rid of the air on the drivers side, so I went back to the other side, now there's air over there. Can't see any leaks. I know the seals went in correct and I torqued the halfs to 130 ft lbs. Any thing I'm missing here. The bores looked good no pitting. I'm just getting tired of doing the same thing over again and wasting brake fluid.

According to the manuel, you need to bleed the brakes as follows.left rear inner than outer, than righr rear inner than outer, than go to the left front than the right front. Invest in a mityvac hand vacumn pump then you can bleed the brakes without help. They work pretty good.
