I don't even use a bleeder for that caliper. In a pinch it backbleeds pretty well. I put some worn pads in the caliper and pump the pistons out. Then I open the bleeder valves and push the pistons back in. I keep doing this untill I only get fluid out of the bleeders. Then if there is still air in the line I push the pistons back in with the bleeder valves closed pushing any remaining air through the master cylinder.
Its always worked for me. This was the only way I used to be able to get the clutch slave cylinder on my Saab 900 to bleed.
