Yes, anytime you open up any brake line connections you introduce air. You need to bleed it. I don't have a good time estimate. I spend so much time laying out the change, covering everything with rags/protection it takes me twice as long as everyone else.

yes, the car dosnt need power to bleed the brakes. It took me about 45mins to install mine, main problem was getting a drill in there to mount the damn thing. If you bought the top mount...Id say 30mins from start to finish

30-45 min using SLP'S unit
I think if you gravity bleed the line as I, will save you time and problems
only problem after 7 years is SLICK tires
I have no air problems ,press brake, set switch and you will not move a inch
LINE LOCK INFO
IS hole behind pcm , but i drill hole beside steering colum also ( drill from inside out ) put a peace of rubber hose in hole ran wire inside hose, then use same type wire wrap as GM,tie wrap to the big rubber hose comming over master cyl
I also mounted switch in ash tray
my .02
PS ::Connect brake line to master cyl and line lock ,the second line which goes to ABS block start it but leave it loose,remove cap from master cyl and let the lines grivity bleed watch the loose connection untill all air is out and run pure fluid ( may shake the line a little to help bleed ( REMBER BRAKE FLUID WILL RENOVE PAINT
I placed plastic sheet over fender)if does not gravity bleed blow into master cyl and have some one watch for fluid at ABS block >>>THIS way you do not have to bleed the brakes from under car- I had no problem of any kind
also the picture from SLP is UPSIDE DOWN install with the wire connection UP
Sorry for the long post, hope it helps
