If i replace front brake lines do i need to bleed brakes from rear to front? or just bleed front?

please?

I've gotten away with just redoing the fronts. Try it out, you should be fine. If you don't get full pedal back, then you can always do 'em all.

Just the front, the 2 systems are independant of one another.

Alls well now my old calipers were leaking or something thats why i was having problems, I just bought new ones stuck them on and brakes are better then ever, I knew it didn't make sense to touch the back brakes but thanks.

Might as well do them both. Doesn't hurt to get newer fluid in there.

I agree with MacDaddy - that fluid can get nasty with time. It's not like it takes long if you have a bleeder jar.

The one problem is that if the car hasn't been regularly bled, you can end up flushing some grit through the master and needing a new one before long. I've had that happen.

So does mean I only have to bleed fronts? Heres my situations (sorry to steal thread) I had to replace the front line that goes under the engine to the pass side. I went to bleed all my brakes and found out the bleeders have been twisted off the rears. The fronts are there still and I only replaced that one front line. Does that mean I only need to bleed my fronts?

Sooooo true. I would act on this one.

The brake system is nothing to downplay. It stops your car, and you must keep it in top condition.

I got a broken bleeder valve out with an EZ-Out once. You should be able to do the same. If you can't, $40 will get you two brand new wheel cylinders. Maybe less.

Will an easy out work with out having to remove the wheel cyclinder?

Yes.

I believe I used a #4 EZ-out (not sure on this), and the hole in the bleeder valve was already big enough for it, so no drilling was required.
