Use a long handle breaker bar to break the caliber hold down bolts. Could also soak down with PB Blaster.
Then....
Just manually bleed your brakes. Have your wife press on the brake pedal. No need for a power bleeder. I have "The Walker Bleeder".

Or just use a piece of pipe over your standard ratchet... the torque spec for those bolts are pretty high, It's going to take some force to brake them free.
Also, I never took my calipers off the car when I painted them... I just hit them with a wire brush and some brake cleaner. They still look good after two years...
