whenever you introduce air to to the system (by removing brake hose or replacing caliper) you must bleed your brakes.

Always bench bleed the Master cylinder when replacing the master cylinder, ABS unit, or proportioning valve.

it is necessary to bleed all 4 calipers

(bleeding sequence: Right Rear, Left Front, Left Rear, Right Front)

just bleeding the fronts will cause the air to be trapped in the system

i didn't have any problems. but ended up with a cut in one of my lines and ended up bleeding all 4 anyway a few weeks later. like i said tho, might as well bleed all four, but i got lucky and didnt have to that time
