Fill the reservoir before you take the old caliper off.
When the caliper is off, let the Brake line drip (Gravity Bleed).

When new caliper is all on with Pads and everything,Slowly Pump the Brake until Pads hit the Rotor. Take a small container (Chinese Won ton soup container), add about 3/4" of brake fluid in the bottom of that . Fill the reservoir to the top. Get a small tube (hose) that will fit snug over the bleeder and down into the 3/4" of fluid. Pump the brake pedal about 10 times. The Fluid in the bottom of the container acts as a Check Valve so make sure the Hose does not lift out of the Fluid.
Go and tighten Bleeder. See how the Pedal feels.

Not a big Autozone Fan. Advanced Auto , I feel, sells better quality.
