did you have the top off the master cylinder when you where gravity feeding it? Is there anywhere that has sprung a leak since you did the calipers?? It should gravity feed if you have the top off... but as you said it isn't. I would try to have her pump it again and see if it will work one more time. I am not sure as to the process that you are using to pump it but make sure that the top is on the master cylinder and have her pump it up then open the bleed valve and have her keep pressure on it till you completely close the valve then repeat over and over. Hope this helps
