Question Did the rear pads on the ML...manual bleeding possible?

Did the rear pads on the ML last night...without a net. Couldn't find the paperwork I printed that contained someone's thread on doing this...so I just inspected everything and took a shot at it.

Pretty successful. 1 hour for the first one, and 10 minutes for the other. But I used the bleed valves to push the pistons (instead of letting the overflow reach the reservoir), so I managed to get air in the lines...you'd think I'd learn my lesson doing the same stupid thing on my first W124 brake pad attempt.

Anyhow, can you manually bleed the air out of the system on the ML?

With the assistance of my wife (pumping the pedal), I WAS able to bleed the lines successfully. So I just answered my own question...
