Default How many brake bleeder screws are on the front & rear calipers? Brake fluid flush...

I believe that there are 2 bleeder per each front caliper, but I can't tell if there is 1 or 2 bleeders on the rear caliper (as I haven't removed the rear wheel yet).

For those doing a brake fluid flush, what is the preferred order of calipers to start with and finish with? If a caliper has 2 bleeder screws, would it matter which of the 2 bleeders screws to do first?

As it looks like twin piston rears i would say there should be a bleed nipple either side at the rear too.
The best way is to start with the caliper furthest from the master cylinder and work to the closest.

BTDT - Bleed the inside caliper first and then the outside. Start with the rears and then the fronts. Use the Motive pressure bleeder.
