Bleeding Brakes and tips ?

Bleeding Brakes and tips ?
Due to a seized caliper bolt I have had to remove the front passenger side caliper.
Before doing this I wedged a piece of wood between the peddle and steering wheel - hopefully this will stop it sucking air into the entire system.
When I come to re-fit the caliper do you think I will get away with only bleeding the one ?
Other than get the wife to sit in the car pressing the peddle and me opening and closing the nipples, any good ideas ?
Thanks

You should only need to bleed that caliper. After you have finished, check the brake pedal feel.
I would do the whole system for all the time it takes. You can get a 'one man bleeding kit' from halfords or similar, if you don't have a helper.
