YES!!! When you swap out your brake lines you need to bleed the air back out of the new brake lines! Not hard at all....go to auto zone and look for a "one man brake bleeder kit" or something to that effect...there are like 3 steps on the bottle...super easy...get some extra DOT brake fluid too as you DON'T want to pour the fluid you bleed out back into the brake resivoir....

the fronts are one per side, the rear is a one piece extension with a manifold(block) for the L/R sides

I think he meant he just bled them.

But all I know is you NEED to bleed them because your brake lines are empty and when you add them there will be two huge air bubbles. NOT good for driving.

right now its just sittn as a project so i not too worried but yeah im gonna but the extention for them for 6" lift and then bleed them

roger that, definitely bleed them anytime you crack a seal is a good idea

brakes can be frustrating, if the flare cracks /leaks, if you do lots of brake work then it is a snap.

well i did lots in my old 5 drag bug i was building

Personally I prefer to use two people. I usually use my little brother and have him pump the brakes then I pop the screw open then close it and do it 3 times on each brake until done. Im sure I could use speed bleeders but this way I can see that all the air is out.

I always use another person also, not too hard to round some one up to sit and pump/hold the pedal.

not too be an ***** froggo but you dont sound like you have any idea what you are doing. the brake extension is a longer replacement brake line take the old one out, put the new one in its place
