Hi
I would imagine it will definitely take a while as the gravity-powered flow is really really slow.
If you have replaced a caliper (which would be empty of any fluid on install) then the bleeding also has that air to push through .... which isn't the case with a "simple" flush through with no / very little air.
Was the hose "clamped off" while you were swapping the caliper over?
I hope it clears out ok .... or otherwise you may need to incorporate one of the other methods mentioned where you use pressure to push the fluid into/through the master cylinder.
I'm sure someone with more experience/tips will be along later.
In the meantime ... good luck
John
As an afterthought .... try bleeding the N/S rear caliper first, then do the O/S again?
All the best.
