Default You only have to bleed what you have opened up

so as long as you don't touch the rest of the system and don't press the brake pedal with an open system, you should be fine. Bleed the fronts and that is it. But it may be a good idea to just flush the system entirely if you haven't done it within the past 2 years.

Default And are the lines easy to replace? If the car is up and wheel is off, obviously.

I just have never looked at them that closely.
