Question Brake Bleed Question for OEM Brembo

Do the Brembo's have two bleed nipples? One on the front of the caliper and one on the rear. If so, which one do you bleed? If not, where is the bleed nipple located. Thanks.

I'll add this:

Push the pistons all they way back with the corresponding bleed valve open to push the trapped air bubbles out.

Congrats on the Civic, what happened to the Titan you had?

Got traded for the Civic...

The amount of "truckwork" I did didn't justify the 35k truck with the 300$ fuel bill a month. Instead of towing the Z to the track, I'll just buy more tires and drive it there.

It was a nice truck thought...

Gotcha, Civic should be a good daily driver, at least more fun than Corolla.
