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.

Or a pressure bleeder. That way one person is sufficient and you don't have to worry about air past threads and what not. The pressure pot sits at the reservoir and pushes fluid through the system. You sit at the wheel and open the bleeder valve.

I have this one...

Basically you add brake fluid to the jug. Close jug. Then screw the cap onto the reservoir. Pump the handle a few times (I think 15psi IIRC). Not too much psi as you don't want to blow out any seals. Then sit at each wheel. This thing comes with a length of hose that you attach to the bleeder valve. fill a jar 1/4 of the way up with brake fluid. Put other end of hose in jar with brake fluid. Open bleeder valve. Bleeder device pushes air through the system, through the caliper and into the jar filled with brake fluid. This way you don't have air going back into the system. Pretty easy...
