Bleeding Brakes after Removing Engine out bottom I removed my front brake lines from the abs unit so I could pull my engine and k member out the bottom of the car. I only bleed the front lines but havent driven it yet, should this be ok? Brad

How is that done, at each wheel? What do you do exactly, just loosen the bleed nut as someone pushes the pedal until you see fluid shoot out then close it off as its coming out? Maybe I should just search but im at work. Thats what I did on the front and the car stops but I havent tested it on the street and want to make sure its cool.

You can also rent a nifty vacuum tool that pulls a constant vacuum on each bleeder as you crack it open. Sometimes, you need to put grease around the bleeder screw to get it to seal air-tight. Make sure you keep the master cylinder full. If you can't get the tool, just get a piece of clear hose, stick it up on the bleeder screw, crack it open, have someone hit the brake, and close the screw before they let up. Repeat until you see no air bubbles.
