When I swapped my calipers out. I used a c-clamp on the brake line. I squeezed it down just enough to stop the fluid from leaking. After I hooked the line up to the new caliper I removed the c-clamp and opened the outer bleeder screw first and then the inner srcrew, fluid gravity fed into the caliper. I just made sure I did the right rear first, then left rear, right front then left front. I just made sure to keep checking the master cylinder and topping it off as needed. The brake fluid does not come pouring out. It's just a slow trickle. Once I had them all done I topped off the master cylinder and cranked the car up. I pumped the brake pedal a couple of time to get the brake pads pushed back out. As the caliper pistons are fully retracted. I then topped off the master cylinder again and took it for a test drive. I had a nice firm brake pedal with no problems. Hope this is the explanation you were looking for. If I can be of any further assistance just let me know.
