Shimano XTR M975 brakes? How to bleed?

I have a set of older Shimano XTR M975 brakes and I am looking to DYI bleed them. Seems like most of the new YouTube vid are for newer version of Shimano brakes. Is the instruction for bleeding the M975 brakes similar? Any tips would help, thanks.

Just gravity bleed them.

Here's a video for your exact brakes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFuwoEYvt_w

Having bled the XT version of these plenty of times, moving onto the current design with the screw in funnel is much easier.

Either of those ways will work.
