Default Is it possible to cycle ABS pump while stationary?

I have a very soft brake pedal despite multiple attempts at bleeding, master cylinder has been bench bled, at present there is around 2" of pedal travel before the brakes feel firm, braking performance has been massively reduced.

I was wondering if its possible to activate the abs pump while stationary in case there is any air trapped in it?

All calipers have been taken off for refurbishing, car is a widetrack blob.

Thanks

It can be done with a select monitor but it's not really necessary with Subaru abs pumps, the system should bleed fine without doing that.

Stupid question but are the calipers on the right sides and the bleed nipples pointing up?
