quick brake bleeding question.
Quick question, about to install bbk kit, and i was wondering if i can bleed the brakes normally. I have heard that abs can be a pain to deal with if air gets into the system. Can i take the old brake off, install new brakes on, bleed it as normal and not worry about the abs?

Be sure to cap or seal the hard brake line on each corner when installing the BBK, That will help ensure minimal fluid loss and getting air inside the brake master and ABS module.

Go to your local parts store and see if they have some rubber plugs that fit around the threaded ends of the brake hose. If you completely drain the brake system, you'll be stuck with possibly bench bleeding the master cylinder, which can be a PITA. Have you ever worked on a brake system before? Do you have all the tools and garage space needed?

thanks everyone. i guess i was over thinking things. since i heard abs is a pain to bleed and might need professional tools to even check if there is air in the abs system.
