My 1958 swb series 2 brakes have been upgraded to 109s . Do i have to take off back plate to bleed them?.

As far as I can think at this time of night and after a few pints the answer is no as the back side of the wheel cylinders poke through the brake back plate so the bleed nipples and the brake pipe union can be easily accessed
