Default Bleedin' Brakes!

Well the rear caliper really, easy question.

It has two nipples, as it should I say. Do I bleed them separately or both together, by some act of God?

Cheers.

I did them separately as well, but swapped between each one so I had 2 pipes set up for easy bleeding. Though the rear one is a bugger to reach so I found it easier to bleed it off the wheel untill the pistions started moving then put it on. Also gave me a idea of how close I was getting to finishing the job.
