    Are you bleeding for routine maintenance or because you thought you had an issue?

    I suspect you will need to bleed using vacuum or pressure bleed system. Long shot u could attempt to raise calliper higher than master to expel Air. Just a thought if u don't have alternative

    Draw the fluid through from the caliper end with a large syringe :)

    Make yourself a one man bleed tube.

    Length of clear washer tube that will push onto bleed nipple, soften one end and push a bolt into one end ( tight fit ), make a cut along the length of the tube about 1/2" long and 1/2" up from the bolt to create a one way valve, fit to bleed nipple and work away once the tube is full you can see any bubbles easily.

    Drop end of tube into catch container ......

    Once its bled with no bubbles lock off the bleed nipple, move on to the next.

    Make the tube 12 - 18 inches long so it drops into your catch bottle to stop it spraying everywhere !
