Stephen, air has no place in brake lines. Two reasons...it compresses so leads a "squashy" feel to a pedal. Second...air is a component for corrosion.

If your bleed nipple is above the caliper then you should be able to get all out of the system.

Using this remote bleed you will be able to bleed without being a contortionist or needing to put the car on a hoist or ramps.

I actually made a power bleeding thingy from a 2ltr heavy plastic bottle and some scavenged tube and fittings, which connects to my compressor. Obviously I use very low pressure...just enough to pump the fluid thru the lines and it works a treat. I have heard of folks using a similar device and just using an inflated inner tube to supply the air pressure.
