Yes, I did the bleeding. If you hustle, you may only need 1/2 of 12oz brake fluid. Otherwise brake tank empties out. I used Valvoline Synpower DOT 3&4. Do not use Silicone/DOT5.
Great reminder !PrjctMax!. Guys, if you have never done brakes before, at least ask or read about it. Good tires and good brakes are your only connection to the road.

there should be no need to bleed/replace if you simply hold down the brake pedal (brick or someone elses foot) to maintain the pressure.

Any time you do any work on your brake system that involves the hydraulic fluid (replacing calipers,master cylinder,changing brake lines) you will be introducing air into the system. The prudent course is to ALWAYS bleed the system. After all, the safety of you and your passengers depends on the cars ability to STOP. You don't want to be guessing about that.
