Default Any pointers on bleeding Boxster calipers?

I bled the front, still had air in them. Then I bled the rear, still air. Then i bled the front again, still air. I have talked to a couple people that say gravity bleeding is the way to go. What do yall recommend?

Make sure you have a good seal b/w the hose and bleed screw.

Default When you bleed the front boxster calipers

start with the inner bleed screw on the right front, then the outer, then the inner on the left front followed by the outer.
