If you hold the brake pedal down slightly ( Wedge a piece of wood between the brake pedal an front seat) and you are replacing the rear caliper, chances are you do not need to bleed the other calipers.

Holding the brake pedal down a bit will keep the Master from emptying as you swap out the bad caliper. so the all the lines should remain free of air. not to mention the line to the caliper you are replacing shuld bleed of air very quickly.
