Bleeding Wilwoods

Come to bleed the wilwoods this afternoon and they baffuled me a bit so a few questions:

(they are powerlites)

1. Do all 4 nipples need bleeding
2. What the easyest way to bleed them? I found it hard to attach the lttile tube off my bleed kit to the little nipples
3. Any idea what spanner size the little black nipples are? they are inbetween 6mm and 7mm but not a size i have


Thanks in advance

1. No. Only bleed through the top 2. Made so they can be bled either way up.
2. I let the fluid run through then bled the old fashioned way. Nipple open, press peddal down, close nipple, mpedal back, repeat untill no air comes out.
3. 1/4" AF
