Yes, and the rears go much easier with the bleeders open (I use a big pair
of needlenose pliers).
Just remember to close the bleeders after pushing them in, especially on the
front.

You only have to do this for the rear calipers - the fronts can be pushed in
without turning.

And remember to TURN the cylinders when you push them
in when putting on the new pads. Otherwise you'll sit
there with a caliper in your hand and be VERY
frustrated. And ya might feel stupid afterwards...like
me... :-(
