If you're just replacing the pads and rotors, there is no need to bleed the brakes unless you open the system to air. There are two caps, one for the front, and one for the rear. It's called a dual system and has two chambers.

I was removing the cap to help compress the calipers. Somewhere in my brain I thought I would have to bleed them but figured out a bit later that I'm mentally handicapped. Thanks for letting me know about the resevoir. I expected that to be the answer but have never come across that before.
