Default how do you bleed brembo calipers with 2 nipples?

im fitting my new brembo brakes and ive noticed there are two bleed nipples,do i just bleed them one at a time? i clamped off the flexi hose before taking the calipers off so will i get away with just bleeding the two fronts. thanks

YOu do indeed bleed them one at a time, however, if one of them is on the bottom of the caliper, just do the top one, if one is on the 'inside' and one on the 'outside', i would do the inner one first, then the outer....
Bleed both fronts, and see how the pedal feels, it's never a bad idea to bleed the rears aswell though, as it means you've changed all the fluid!

cheers for that mate, the two nipples are both on top, i may aswell just bleed all four calipers while im at it.

thanks

i got my brake bleed kit from halfords and it came with 2 pipes so im guessing this would be ideal for calipers with 2 nipples? might be worth a look?
