Do I have to bleed all 4 calipers at once in fluid change? S70 2000

I'm doing pads front and rear this weekend - will flush brake fluid as well.

When I watched it being done at Volvo the first time (2 years ago) - the mechanical sucked all the fluid out of the reservoir - topped it up with fresh - cracked ALL FOUR bleeders - and passed 3 tins of fluid through.

Easy for him - it was on a lift!

Do I have to crack all breeders at once? Are there pairs that I can do and achieve the same effect? Just drain the first line 3 times longer than the rest?

If I must do all four - I guess I will find a "bleeder" size chunk of tubing for each wheel - and crack them all without removing 4 tires.

Sure be easier to do them one at a time!

THx for your help,

MAT
