Brake question regarding bleeding...

'03 Accord LX Coupe V6

Took off the front calipers to clean them up a bit, replaced rotors and pads. obviously I'll need to bleed the fronts. Im assuming I need to bleed the rears now too since there is only one Master Cyl for the entire brake system.

Just looking for a quick confirmation.

If you only took the front calipers off and not the master cylinder, then you shouldn't have to worry about bleeding the rears. There is a gas-trap (like a toilet) in the pipes where the brake soft lines connect to the hard lines. This helps keep the air from going up the pipes if the lines are opened.

Just bleed the fronts, and make sure the brakes function like normal...
