I am bleeding Wilwood brakes with 4 piston calipers. So there is an insde bleeder on one half of the caliper and an out side bleeder on the other half of the caliper. I have gotten a fairly firm pedal just bleeding the inside bleeder on all four corners. But I don't know when to bleed the outside bleeders?

any help will be appreciated

bleed the outside, you need to get the air out of the cross over tube and the outer pistons... It's been a while since I did that type, I can't remember if it was outer first then inner or inner then outer, but once the bulk of the air is out is shouldn't matter which order.

you might also try tapping the caliper with a rubber mallet at different spots between bleedings to bring the air pockets to the top of the caliper. this helped me on a dual piston pbr caliper once.
good luck

You always bleed from the farthest point first. Meaning RR caliper outside bleeder, then insided bleeder. LR outside bleeder then inside bleeder...etc.
