has he put the calipers on the right way around/on the right side? Has he split the Piston seal in the caliper? Still air in system?

on the SERVO is a bleed nipple (hehe yes a nipple)...

undo it, air will escape, slowly press the brake pedal to the floor and hold it there, and do the nipple back up. same thing happened to mine when doing my rear brake.
