Is it really necessary to bleed the valve on the inside of the caliper?

I ask because every time I bleed my brakes, the inside nipple always comes out perfectly clear with the new fluid.

I could cut my bleed time in fourths if I didn't have to remove the wheels.

Your thoughts?

Yes, you must always bleed both ports.

I figured. Brembo must have put 8 ports on just to laugh at us.

what the others have said is spot on, also start as far away from the resivoir as possible i.e. back passenger side.

I had to ask. I bleed my brakes after every track event and keep thinking "this would take no time at all if I didn't have to remove my damn wheels."

Oh well.
