Installing SS Brake Line Extension
Im gettin ready to put the AALs on my tacoma and ive got the ss brake line extender to put on too. How do i do this?
Do i have to bleed the whole system first so fluid doesnt come running out all over me when I loosen the nuts?
I'm guessing there isnt an easy way to just plug and play it without messing with a power flusher or whatever they are called.
My point is, I dont want to have to go out and buy one of these power flushers just to install a $20 brake line extension.
Thanks!

You are going to loose some fluid when you take it loose.You will have to bleed the brakes anytime you open up a line.Just have someone pump the brakes while you bleed them.I have never hurd of a power flusher.This is basic stuff.Get a repair manual it will explain the whole thing and alot more.Everyone has to start some where.A factory repair manual is nice.I just subscribed to all data on line.You get access to factory manuals along with updated recalls and tsb.First year is like 24 bucks after that its 14 dollars a year.You can also add another vehicle for 14 more dollars a year.Just look up what you want and print it up.Have fun its not hard.
