Brake bleeding question
Hey all. I am replacing the two front calipers on my Ex today. I have never bleed brakes before. I have read the brake bleeding procedures in the Tech folder but still have a question. If I only replace the two front calipers (not replacing hoses; just disconnecting at the caliper body and reconnecting factory hose to the new calipers), I should be able to bleed this successfully by starting with right front and them moving to left front. I should not have to bleed the rears, correct?
I know that I cannot let the fluid in the MC get below minimum line. I plan on replacing both calipers today and then have the kid work the pedal tonight. I appreciate the guidance.

You have allowed air into the system, by bleeding farthest away you are adding new fluid and ensuring the least amount of air is in the system. So no you cannot start with the front with out a proper bleed.
