Any power bleeder will work great for ya. as long as you got one, id do a flush of all old fluid while your at it. brake fluid breaks down over time. the heat from the calipers burns it up. just keep bleeding till you get nice new fluid coming out the bleeder on each caliper, do the fronts too. pedal will feel better for sure if this has never been done before.

Id suggest you gravity bleed with the lines off, till you get clean fluid, before connecting to the new calipers. No reason to flood them with any old fluid.

Id also bleed the fronts too. 5 minutes more work and another pint of fluid.

gravity takes to long for me. and once again, you need to make sure you keep the master full. or you bleeding the master cylinder now.
