I'm going to need to replace the two brake lines that run from the master cylinder to the ABS unit sometime very soon. I've ordered the lines, I'm not 100% confident that they have both lines, but that's another story.
Any tips on doing the install/bleed?
Was thinking I'd prime the new lines, then remove a line from the master, plug the hole, then remove it from the ABS unit, then install the new line on the ABS unit side first, then the master. The intent is to introduce the least amount of air as possible. Then just let it sit over night and hope any air bubbles migrate up to the reservoir.
Not looking forward to having to bleed the brakes. I hate brake fluid.
You know, it should be a law that brake lines must be made from stainless steel.
