This is my first time doing this on a bike. YouTube videos, didn't look to hard, if I only pay attention to what I'm doing.
OK, got it.
What I believe happened was that without the bleed block in there, it allowed the pistons too move too far out when you did the bleed. The problem is that allowed the system to be overfilled with fluid.
You need to let the excess fluid out of there. You need to open the port on the lever, then wedge the bleed block in there. That should push some fluid out. That may be all you need to do (and not have to do another bleed).
While is is true that Juicys were not very good, I would try what I mentioned before buying new ones.
