Well, I'm glad it finally came. Install is snap. Bleeding the new lines at the ABS block will save you some time and hassle.

I'm a little intimidated about bleeding the lines. I was going to do it tonight, but I forgot to stop for Break fluie & teflon paste. I have teflon tape, but it says use paste?

I would use paste since it won't dry and flake but, you could probrably get away with the tape. Do you want the ghetto way of bleeding the lines? Install everything but leave the nut on the new line kinda loose at the ABS block. Then pull the cover off the revoir, wrap a rag around the edge, and blow into the resvoir to push the fluid through the new lines. Once you get plenty of fluid coming out around the nut, tap all the lines real good and get all the little air bubbles out. As I said, it's ghetto as hell, but it's worked great for me acouple of times. Much easier than pushing all the air through the ABS block.
