Bleeding Brakes all around 200

I just finished replacing calipers and rotors all around, both parking brakes and the front brake lines on my '87 240 wagon. Whew!

Now I need to bleed the system. Obviously there's got to be alot of air in system. Alot of fluid bled out when I removed the calipers. What's the best way to accomplish this? I'm having a hard time getting any flow to come out of the rear caliper where I've started. I was using one of those pressure bleeders I bought at autozone and not getting much flow.

Also should I leave the MC cap on when doing this or take off? Am I better doing it the old clear tube in a container way?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
