You're trying to pump all the air out of the lines/calipers/master cylinder (air can be compressed) and replace it with brake fluid (which doesn't compress, transferring pressure from the master cylinder pistons to the caliper pistons).
Edit: OK, I read the procedure you quoted, and noticed that they start by giving instructions on bleeding the master cylinder in the case where the fluid level had dropped below minimum, allowing air into the master cylinder. Did you undo the lines at the master cylinder first, before bleeding at the wheel cylinders?

Yes I bled the master cylinder first, then hooked the lines back up and then bled the lines, like you said, by turning the plug just enough, however more fluid came out of some tires than others FR and RL had the most fluid come through the hose.
Today finally planing on bleeding the lines again before taking off the master cylinder. And checking the pistons and gaskets.
