Cool.
Could try that.
Thoughts on inverting the bike and attaching a syringe with some fluid in it and trying to burp it out there?
Internally routed so getting hose straight will be tricky.

You'd need the calliper bleed nipple to be the highest point in the system. If you let the pistons come out a bit you could then use them to try and force the calliper fluid - and maybe the bubble/s - out in to the syringe by pushing them in to the calliper. You'd need to rubber band the levers down first to isolate the reservoir .
But yeah what a faff

Stick the bleed block in then repeatedly depress the leaver to the bar in an attempt to burp the bubble back up to the reservoir. Will work better with everything off the bike and the leaver directly above the calliper with a straight run.
Failing that using a syringe you could force fluid in to the calliper in the hope that it takes the bubble/s with it. up towards the reservoir.
