Yes!! You need to unbolt the rear calipers and hold them on the disc with the bleed nipple upwards - then bleed them, they will bleed properly!!

DOES YOUR CAR HAVE ABS? IF IT'S AN ERST AND YOU DO HAVE ABS, YOU SOMETIMES HAVE TO HAVE THE PUMPS SPINNING TO BLEED THE AIR OUT OF THEM I.E START THE CAR UP AND WITH THE FRONT WHEELS IN THE AIR PUT IT IN FIRST THEN REBLEED THEM ALL.
ALSO YOU NEED TO HAVE THE REAR WHEELS ON THE GROUND OR THE SUSPENSION UNDER THE CARS WEIGHT SO YOU CAN BLEED OUT THE LOAD VALVES. I HOPE THIS HELPS?
