Default Brake Bleeding Question

Im wanting to add stainless brake lines to my 93 Z28. Wondering if theres anything special I need to do because of the ABS as far as the bleeding process. Id like to get as much as the old fluid out and new DOT 4 in as possible. I do not have any power bleeder nor do I have a vacume pump. Ill need to do it by gravity bleeding and pumping the pedal.

Why not take your car to get bled? Most places only charge about $60 and have the power bleeders to do it. That's what I plan on doing.

Sounds like a plausible option...

me and a buddy of mine did his 02 camaro with the vacuum pump rented from autozone. money well spent. it will take along time to get the air out with the gravity/pedal method. he had to redo the lines to the abs unit so it would have taken forever to do the method you mentioned. rent the tool and return it. no money spent and less time wasted. when you take it for a test drive just stop fast enough to activate the abs a few times to get any remaining air out and it will equal out the brake pressure
