It can be pretty hard to bleed it if you replaced that many parts at once. You might have to bleed all 4 wheels now.

I've heard of this happening numerous times as well as someone buying a pair of calipers and putting them on the wrong sides. They pull the old ones off to turn in as cores and then put the new ones on bass-ackwards. No way to get the air out like that.
