Yes, Bleed the brakes front and rear at this point. The next time you change your brakes, open the bleeder screw a bit when you are pushing the piston back in. The fluid in the brake line and caliper will get dirty and you do not want to push that bad fluid back into the brake system. And most of the time you will not have to bleed the brakes after doing this cause you are actually doing that while pushing in the caliper. I hope this helps.
