Pressure bleeding W speed bleeders

Has anyone pressure bleed their brakes with the speed bleeders installed in the calipers. Would I need to remove them, or would I need higher pressure to move the spring in the calipers?

I just pressure bled my brakes with a speed bleeders all around, not a problem, in fact I only pump to 12 PSI or so and its enough to do all 4 wheels.

Mine are called check valve bleeders, but do the same thing as speed bleeders and I just leave mine in.

Just leave them in. Makes for easy one man bleeding. I use a vacuum pump hooked to the speed bleeder and just pump away until I get no bubbles. Then put the vacuum pump away till I need it in another 20 or so years. Then I won't even remember where I put it.
