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)
