PMB has a tech tip on "gravity bleeding" your brakes. What it doesn't explain is the way to bleed a caliper with 2 bleeders.
Did I miss something or do just use only one of the bleeder ports. |

Bleed first from the top. Why the top bleeder? Because air is less dense than brake fluid, and it's easier to chase air out the top, it would just get stuck otherwise.
As for the bottom bleeder: when the circuit is bled, no air left, you can bleed the bottom, it's worth it, just take a look at the sludge that comes out from a car where the bottoms were not bled often. You can't get air out from there, but you can drain out old brake fluid, and you should. |
