It's so easy a caveman could do it......

This is a trick from 1965 when Corvette made the transition to 4 wheel disc brakes...

Unbolt and remove the caliper from the mounting bracket with the brake line (hose) still attached, place a piece of wood or any other material between the pads and while your apprentice pumps the brakes up all you have to do is turn the caliper in whatever direction is needed so that the bleeder or bleeders face up and bleed the brakes as you would normally do..

I guaranty that you will be able to remove 100% of the air that is trapped in the caliper....

Just another old guy trick........

Just sayin'
