Need Help With Replacing Caliper!!

I am replacing my rear right caliper and I am wondering about the bleeding process. Do I have to bleed all 4 lines or can I just bleed the one I am working on.

according to the haynes manual...if you only take off one brake hose at one wheel then you only need to bleed that wheel....bleeding brakes was a ***** for me...your supposed to disconnect the abs actuator...I did and tried bleeding for a while, I couldnt get all the air out...had to take it somewhere to get it bled but all worked out

If the absolute last thing you do is remove the brake line and put it on the other caliper, you should be fine. You can just bleed that one. Same one I had to replace and just made that a quick switch.

You really shouldn't have a problem either way. The only way to get air in the other lines is if you were to let the fluid drain out too far or air got up into the line somewhere and followed it back, which I don't see happening.

I'd just swap it and bleed the on caliper.
