Does the rear caliper have 2 air bleeder valves?
Changed brake fluid today bleed the outer valve as shown in the manual. Than I saw there was a valve on the inside too.

I found it best to bleed the inner one first.

I've found it best not to snap the nipples off, I really should get the caliper replaced or fixed properly this year.

Job done. Air bubbles came out while bleeding, so I checked the outside valve, but it was still OK
Thanks for reply
