    You can remove the caliper and loosen the brake line, turn the caliper until the loosened line is at the top and wait until bubbles stop, tighten line and install caliper. The worst bleed job I had was on a street rod a guy built. Ridiculous amount of money spent on custom body stuff but the result was the master cylinder reservoir and master cylinder were below the level of the brakes. It would not bleed. I went and got some clear vinyl tubing about 12 feet long, the cheap stuff like oxygen hose. I went to the longest line first, loosened and shoved the tubing over the bleeder. I ran the other end into the reservoir and hled it there with a clothes pin. I pumped the pedal until all the bubbles cleared and went to the next shortest. Didn't lose any fluid on the floor and it really worked slick.
