Quick questioned,

In any way is it possible to bleed 4 pot brembo brakes that have 2 bleed valves using only one valve, due to the fact that both valves are linked?

Refer to image. (A) represents the bleed valves and (B) represent the pipe conecting the 2 to the brake line. If i have to bleed both i will, but was hoping it is possible to cheat.

I do not know, but from a logical perspective you can/should bleed only one, and then bleed a tiny bit off the 2nd one for that little bit of old fluid left between the pipe split and the 2nd bleed valve.
 
You can but it probably wont be good, the pistols are linked at the bottom.and the nipples are at the top, so the air bubbles will rise to the nipple, bleeding through one, wont release the bubble on the other.
 
Can't do that, need to do both. I had this issue when I didn't realise there was a second nipple. Brakes didn't work at all. Since those links are down the bottom the air goes to the top and needs to be bleed out both sides.

This was after changing brake lines so I had no fluid in the calliper. If you just wanted to bleed then you should be right but I don't know why you would do just one side.
 
Have to do both otherwise u will have left over old fluid and IIRC on my friends evo we did the outside one first (keeping to the principal of doing the furthest from master cylinder first)

there is no fluid in the brakes, the were off the car. Its fine to do both, next question though can they be done 1 side at a time or should both nipples on the calipar be bleed together, if thats the case i will need another 1 man bleed kit.

My Brembos have been going strong since Trondy and Ian helped me put them on and that's how it was done on my car, so no need for two brake bleed kits...
