if i only opened it for a few seconds on the one wheels is that the only wheel i have to bleed? haynes manual says i gotta attatch plastic tubing to it and submerged it into brake fluid and watch for bubbles...is this necessary? dont think i have any plastic tubing around anywhere.

get a helper, tell the person to person to pump the brakes a few times then hold the pedal down, then you unscrew the bleeder until fluid comes out. do it a few times until you get a nice steady stream of fluid. repeat for all corners.
