Default Bleading lines after linelock install?

I know it is neccessary to do, I was just wondering if you have to do anything special or can you just blead the lines the traditional way. Only reason I'm asking is because my mechanic said he could install it but he didnt have the tool to blead the ABS. Thanks for the help.

He is right, you need a Tech-II tool to cycle the valves in the ABS block. However, tons of people (including myself) bleed the brakes without one and it's fine. Tell your mechanic when he does the install that he can bleed the brakes at the ABS block, just leave the new fitting at the block loose and wait for the fluid to gravity feed, or pressurize the resvoir alittle to push the fluid to the fitting quicker. That woked great for me.
