Bleeding Hayes stroker ryde brakes

Im in the middle of trying to sort out me Strokers but cannot seem to get the job done. It all started when I squeezed the brakes without the wheel in resulting in small amounts of fluid coming out from the caliper area. I have since purchased the pro bleed kit and tried 3 different ways of bleeding the brakes.
1. like the park tool manual said.
2. like the instructions that came with the pro bleed kit said
3. like the instructions with the bike said.
Same result just a spongy naff rear brake that doesnt work. Im convinced that I have gotten all the air out the system but it just aint doing anything for us. What have I missed?
Does anybody have any possible solutions or know of a better way to sort this problem out. Ironically Ive only ridden her once!

All I to is stick the leaver so its facing up.
Put syringe on caliper bleed nipple.
Pull plug out leaver
Unscrew slightly bleed nipple
Push syringe whiles flicking the leaver once or twice to get any air out.
Push plenty of fluid through so its coming out with no air.
Then tighten bleed nipple.
Then put pin back in leaver.
Reset leaver and your done.
If it still does not work after that you likely have one of 3 problems. Your caliper is set totally wrong. You have a problem with the brake it self or you have run out of brake pad.Anthem X1 for sale0 -
