Yes as long as you can reach the brake bleeder valves; this is not always possible, more so when a vehicle has aftermarket rims or different tire sizes.

Please Note: Brake fluid is very corrosive to painted surfaces, if the vehicle has painted rims the fluid will 'strip' the paint if it comes into contact with it.
