I would have replaced it also but I couldn't get it un-bolted. I couln't get a wrench behind the bolt closes to the front of the truck.

You bled them in order with the wheel most distant from the master cylinder bled first working to the last one which would be closest to the master cylinder? Sometimes the bleeding order makes a difference.
