You might well loosen the connection that goes into the splitter box just below the master cylinder. Bleed the master cylinder from there until you are sure it has primed the master cylinder and that it will push fluid to the wheel cylinders. Then tighten that up and give it a few more pumps.

Just loosen the nipples at the wheel cylinders (and or calipers) slightly and walk away til morning.

Remember brake fluid is fairly viscous so slow purposeful pumps when you are bleeding and allow a second between each pump for the pistons to take up more fluid.

Does anybody have a favourite wheel order for brake bleeding on a empty system ?

I hope that wasn't interpretted as that letting gravity do it work is all thats required. They will still need bleeding
