What I do every time I bleed is to "exercise the calipers".

Put a stick on the brake pedal that will hold it down a couple of inches. Does not need to be down hard, only to keep fluid from returning to the reservoir.

Go to the right rear open the bleed screw and push back the pistons into the caliper.

Close the bleed screw. Pump the brake pedal until firm. Check brake fluid level.

Repeat for the other three wheels.

Then bleed as you would normaly do.

I hook my compressor to the overflow hose. Instant pressure bleeder.

NOTE: WARNING, DO NOT USE MORE THAN 10 PSI . or you may have to buy a new reservoir.
