[QUOTE="FJRBluesman, post: 397938, member: 5903"] I have only done the SS lines on my 05 for the front brakes and clutch lines, gravy. The hardest part was getting to the inside screw of the clutch that is in between the frame and the engine. what a PITA. You can't see it and each turn is a fraction of a turn, that took me the longest. I opted to NOT replace that one. Also the poor design of the FeeJ calipers has the zerk fitting in a spot on top of the caliper that when you remove the lines the fluid wants to drip down into the calipers and pads. I tried tape to make a small funnel to guide the fluid away, it helped, but I had to always makes sure nothing dripped down there. The fittings should be designed and located on the outside and at the bottom, not on top, geees. I have done the ABS on BMW front and rear a couple times, no problem for that make. It was just like bleeding them regular except it drank a lot more fluid. Not sure what the process is for the FeeJ ABS. I also used a hand vacuum pump ($30) to initially get the fluid going then pumped the brakes manually to get all the rest of the bubbles out. Really pretty easy, but if you're doing all the lines, I'd say schedule the entire day. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
