Has it really got 4 nipples on each caliper? They generally have two, one on each side (well 4 on the pair of calipers of course....).

With two nipples you can either bleed them one at a time or if you have two pipes you can do a caliper pari together. Otherwise no different from bleeding a conventional single nipple caliper.

If you really have 4 nipples on each caliper then I'll assume two at the top and two at the bottom. I guess someone might have done this so that you could fit the same caliper on either drivers side or passenger side without changing anything on the caliper. If so then ignore the bottom two, all the air will collect at the top so the bottom two are redundant.

 

Cheers for that..

The caliper is a High-Spec 6 pot which has 4 bleed nipples on each caliper, so i should be ok just bleeding the top ones...

 

I had Wilwood 4-pots and these had the same set up on them, what I did was to crack open the bottom bleed nipple until there was fluid coming out, then nip it back up again and bleed as normal.
