I have bleed the front brakes on my car by:
1. Wilwood suggests tilting the caliper straight up. Of course, that means unbolting the front and loosening the back. (You could tilt the car straight up I suppose...)
2. take a ~6 foot length of plastic tube and clip it to the top of a step ladder. Obviously it has to fit the bleeder well, or this won't work and you have a mess.
3. SLOWLY pump the pedal and let the air bubble straight up and out the plastic tube...watch that the tube doesn't overflow. You can get out of the car to refill the reservoir, no need to close the valve, just let the air bubble up.
Don't really need to use a catch bottle if you watch the fluid level in the hose. The fluid tends to get pulled back into caliper when you release the pedal.
When the air stops coming out, tighten the bleeder then drain the tube into a container. 1 liter soda bottle works well.
Pretty hard to find anyone to help with bleeding and this works for me.
