How to bleed C7 Z51 brakes with dual bleeders?
Ignore. I found my answer... bleed inside valves first.

GM instructs bleed inside first. Some aftermarket caliper companies say to bleed outside first. I usually do outside first but I doubt it makes much difference. If you do inside first any air in the line will go out through the inside bleeder and all that would be left would be any air in the outside caliper half. If you bleed outside first most air in the line would go out through the outside bleeder but some might go up into the inside caliper half as it passes by that area. You bleed that out when you bleed the inside. My AP racing calipers don't have inside and outside bleeders. They have upper and lower bleeders. They say to bleed both. Because of that I doubt that it makes much difference at all. The key point to remember is both sides need to be bled.
