2nd Bleeder Nipple FX50 Akebono Caliper?

[neva4self]

I'm getting ready to bleed my brakes. When I bleed the Akebono calipers, do I need to bleed them using both bleeder nipples on the caliper or can I just use the outermost nipple?

If I need to use both bleeder nipples what is the procedure that most of you use? Do you pump the brakes, then bleed the outer nipple, then close the outter nipple, then pump the brakes, then bleed the inner nipple, then close the inner nipple, and repeat or is there different technique?

Feedback appreciated thanks.

That way sounds perfect. Outer/inner/outer Just make sure you finish with the outer bleeder because its the furthest away.

Use both, and I don't know if order matters since they're right next to each other. I've never paid attention to order and haven't had any issues.

Bleed both, doesn't matter the order.

I bleed the outer then inner. I just like to follow the farthest bleeder rule.
