I'm going to be installing my Hurst line lock this weekend and wanted to know if there is a better way to bleed the system after its installed?

I read one guy said he bleed at the master and did not have to touch the calipers

any one know how to properly do that process with out getting air in to the abs pump and lines

I'm getting ready to separate the clutch reservoir this weekend. I'll be using a Movtive Products pressure bleeder. I used it last weekend on a 1st gen. It went very fast, but we bleed out the whole system. I'll also be changing out the fluid to DOT4 on my 5th gen, so I'll be bleeding the complete system.
I think it's the safest way any time you open up any brake lines.
Good luck, Rich

Finished the install, pain in the ass to mount the line lock and get the lines on ,I just gravity bleed all four calipers after. Everything seems to be working great I did a little burn out to test it. Just have to wait and see if any leaks pop up

I have everything to do this install as well. I have been putting it off because I figured it would be one of those, "this should take about an hour and it really takes 2 days" type of jobs. I am looking forward to the finished product though!
