Besides, to bleed these (as with all 4 or 6 pot calipers) you are going to have to take off the wheels, there are 2 bleeders per caliper, one inboard, one outboard.
We look forward to proving you correct! This is welcome news. I find that if you are doing a prophylactic bleed doing the outboard bleeder works excellent on Brembo calipers. I only have to bleed both if it is a dry reinstall after a caliper rebuild. I would bet the AP work the same way.
