In the post I referred you to I only replaced a line, and there was no air in the caliper, so I just bled it at the connection. No need to touch a bleeder that is 25 years old, and take a chance on snapping it off, making more work for myself. If you have air in the calipers, you would just open the bleeder, let it drip until just fluid is coming out, no bubbles left, and you're done.
One other thing is you can do multiple wheels at the same time, just go to the one that starts dripping first, monitor it until there is no bubbles and tighten it, and go to the next wheel, and repeat.
Once you use this method, you'll most likely continue to bleed brakes that way from that point forward. I first did it in 1965, and use this method exclusively.
