In re-reading messages that people gave you on your earlier post, I see that they have made the whole job more complicated. First, you didn't have to touch your front brakes AT ALL. Second, You CAN bleed one caliper at a time. Essentially, when you replace a caliper, you just need to make sure that all the air in the caliper is replaced with fluid - shouldn't take much at all. The rest of the system is not affected if only one point in it is changed.
By opening up ALL the bleeders and messing with each caliper, you've just created a situation where air could be entering at 4 points, not just one. Regarding the post that suggested you SHOULD change all the fluid in your brake system, yes, this is true... but you should also wax your car every month or... only drive on dry days when it is about 65 out.
Frankly, you can drive a car its entire life and never "change" the brake fluid and everything will be fine.
Again, advice that just creates opportunities for problems.
My opinions, of course.
