I have a little bottle and line kit I bought so I can do it myself, but the actual bleeding isn't at all what I'm worried about. It's just cracking the bleeders loose that I'm really really worried about. Especially after finding the brake line and brake hose that was cranked together so tight it took every bit of strength I had to separate them with two brand new pairs of vise grips.
Going out to get started as soon as I finish my coffee. Thanks for the advice, wish me luck!
