of course.
*Disclaimer: I'm no expert, but I've done this a few times (changing calipers, changing lines). It's wise to have two people doing it. If anyone spots any bad techniques here, please say so. This is just how I remember it, and could be wrong.*
Now, assuming the wheel is off, and you're sitting there looking at your caliper, right? You should see the bleeder. On my caliper you could open it by slightly twisting it.
Have one person inside the car, and one person at the bleeder. Now, with the bleeder closed, pump up the brakes until the pedal is quite stiff. While still applying light pressure to the pedal, slowly open the bleeder, just enough so that barely any fluid will escape.
Repeat this process until as soon as the bleeder is opened no air comes out (i.e., fluid comes out right away), and make sure the pedal's feel is normal.
Again, I'm no expert...I did this a few times last summer, so I may be missing a few aspects of the job. Brakes are important for driving, so if you're at all uncomfortable doing it yourself, take it to a professional. If you do do it yourself, adequately test the brakes before actual driving.
