bleeding OEM brembos

Just changed out my front brakes and rotors and have been bleeding the brakes couple times already and my brake engagement is still long. I did follow the manual to bleed in the order of right rear, left front, left rear, right front.

Though i see two bleeding screws on the front brakes and i've only been bleeding the one accessible from the outside, am i suppose to bleed both screws on the brakes? are there also two bleed screws on the rear also?

Also, out of curiosity, how come the brakes aren't bleeded as the conventional way of right rear, left rear, right front, left front?

You will need to bleed both inner and outer bleed screws. As long as the master cylinder was not completely drained it really does not matter which order the bleeding process is done in. The factory manual states the order you used in order to maintain consistency across all service locations and to acommodate the split circuits used on the car.

Yes, you need to bleed from both screws on the front brembo calipers. First the outboard screw, then the inboard screw. You might want to also tap the calieprs gently with a rubber mallet to dislodge any potential air bubbles clinging to the walls of the caliper. Since you only did one screw this is most likely the reason why you still have air in your system.

after bleeding the brakes again, found air coming out of the inner bleed screws on the front, now my brakes grabs much higher and very responsive.
