When I did the brakes on my wifes car (95 vw jetta I call it hitlers revenge) there was no need to bleed the brakes, I turned the slave piston clockwise and this screwed the piston back into the caliper, don't forget to take the top off the master under the hood as the brake fluid displaced by the screwing of the piston goes back into the master cylinder . I had a friend who is a mechanic show me how to all this. Home mechanics is pretty fun and saves beaucoup bucks.
Should be no need to bleed unless the brakes are spongy after.
