Use the pedal, vacuum or pressure method. Do the inner bleeder first, then the outer one. You can use a rubber mallet to tap the caliper while you are bleeding to help get air bubbles to the top. Follow the standard bleed sequence of right rear, left rear, right front, left front.

Hi..
I have '74 corvette and I have a problem with the brake pistons screws.. I noticed that it was the time to replace some screws.. ok, I bought new screws and then I noticed that one of the rear screws didn't tighten up.. it just went to bottom.. any ideas what to do?
The new screw is the same size that the previous one was, but the previous one was a bit rusty.

my rear calipers have 3 bleeders. I gravity feed the inboard upper bleeder, then when that one starts flowing (i let it drip for a couple of seconds) I tighten it and repeat for the outboard upper bleeder. When done you don't even need to touch the bottom bleeder. I've done this several times. No need to get the wife out of the house to come and do the pump and hold. I have yet to try it on the front calipers - but my time is coming - my pass side front is a little leaky
