brake bleed question

I just switched the rear to discs. Can I just bleed the back ones, or do I have to do the front ones also?

Re: brake bleed question

Did you swap MC's also.I ask because your brake system needs to be "balanced".The rear disc may require more or less fluid to operate properly.You may also need a new proportioning valve.If you have the right MC and did not loosen or remove any of the front brake lines you may get by without bleeding the fronts.But since you're already there.....
