Default Playing with 4 nipples on a saturday nite!

Now I have everyones attention, "at least the guys".
Working on my rear brakes, 87 xjs coupe, and found 2! Bleed nipples on each caliper! Makes sense, with the balance pipe, but I don't recall ever having read about this before. Perhaps when I did I was drinking too much? Lol!
So when I bleed the rears, there is 4 ports to deal with?
If it was just a 3rd nipple, they have surgery for that!

Aww crap!
Now I get it! Removed the lines to replace a leaking brass "T" fitting. NOT 4 nipples, 2 openings were for the inputs!
Ya, I know, I need a life! ;-)

YOU GOT MY ATTENTION WITH THE TITLE.

First thought was LUCKY man.

NOW, MAAAAAAATE, you really need to drink MUCH more of whatever.

Good luck, LUV the humour, sits perfectly with Jaguars.

If you cant laugh at yourself, your going to have a hard time with a Jag! We all mess up!
I took your advice, afterwards, alcohol was involved!
You made ME chuckle!
