Question 98 Ford Mustang GT Rear Caliper and rotor

Hi, I just replaced complete brake apparatus on driver side rear. (Caliper/Rotor/Bracket/pads)
1- is there a way to prime caliper?
2-Do I need to bleed all four, when front is seperate?

Welcome!

Strictly speaking, you shouldn't have to bleed the front circuit if you only opened the rear one. But I would do it anyway, just because it's so satisfying to get the old dirty fluid out of the system.
At the very least, do make sure to bleed both rears, and not just the driver's side.

Thanks for the help, other issues encountered are as follows.
1-getting the right bajo bolt., for hole location, for fluid disbursement.
2- making sure you have the right crush washer for the bajo bolt.
3- making sure you realize the bajo bolt is a press fit bolt. You need to put enough torque on it to get it to seat.
