If you change the left front brake line to the caliper do you have to bleed all the brakes?

If you are quick and neat enough about it where you don't drain the whole reservoir, then no. You only need to bleed that line. A trick for bleeding by yourself once your done is to make sure the reservoir is full and the cap is off (don't push the pedal) and open the bleeder on the caliper. Let it gravity bleed drop by drop until no air is present. Top off fluid and check the pedal (with the cap back on)

No, you do not. If you change the caliper, you will have to bleed that brake line. Have someone press on the brake pedal. Open the bleed valve, while they continue to hold the pedal. Close the valve. Repeat 3 times. We did it 4 times, but 3 should do it. Works great!

Do you have to bleed the rear brakes of a 2001 Volvo S60 after replacing brake pads If so where is the bleeder and how do you do it?
There should be no need to bleed the brakes after replacing the rear (or front) brake pads. Make sure you place a rag around the top of the fluid reservoir to catch any excess as you press the pistons back into the caliper body though. If the brake pedal has gone spongy after pad replacement this suggests that the piston seals have failed or the caliper cylinder facess have corroded. On mine the bleed nipples are on the caliper body.
