I’m about to tackle the brakes this weekend. Now since I’m replacing the front calipers, pads, rotors, and the immediate brake line from caliper. Will I have to bleed the rear brakes as well? How hard is it to get to the bleeder. I’ve yet to look under and see.

I've done quite a few over the years and generally have nobody around to lend a hand. I gravity bleed them - it takes longer but it bleeds them nonetheless. Just don't get in a hurry and all works well.

This. Was going to say mason jar but yeah soda bottle works, too.
When I drop the soda bottle I only have to clean up brake fluid, not brake fluid and glass, Soda bottle for me.
