Could (should) you bleed the brakes with the car running?

you'll find more pedal travel with the booster working

I guess I was wondering if the booster/vaccum would help force the air out of the system. im getting very little out of the rears. I am jacked up properly I think (jack stands on the axle).

Depending on what you did(fixed or replaced) there may not be all that much air in the rear. does the pedal feel rather hard or mushy when all bleeder valves are closed. If hard, you should be good. If mushy, there is still air somewhere.

Feels ok I guess. Overall seems like I need to "anticipate' stopping a bit more than before but the squeaky front caliper sound is gone.
