Default Bleeding brakes- pt 2 :wall: (urgent)

Ok then, i've strated bleeding the brakes, there are no leaks, BUT the fluid seems to just trickle of the bleeding kit, rather than flow out smoothly- there are 2 bolts on the top of my 4 pots, ones 11mm, and the other 6mm, am i right in assuming that i leave the 11mm one alone, and nice and tight, and just undo the 6mm a coupleof turns???

HELP me please!!!!!!!

I've never used that kind of kit. I've only used the kit that bleds from the brakes to the master cylinder by pressure.
