Need to bleed brakes or not?

[danh90]

Split my old braided line and needed a replacement today as I've got to drop the car off on Cheshire.

Got a new one from renparts can I just quickly swap them over and top the fluid up or do I need to bleed the whole system? I just need the car to get me over there as it won't be moving and I can get scoff to sort it for me.. So no amazing brakes needed just so it's not dangerous

Just need to bleed the brake up that the pipe split on

Edit: Providing it didnt drop all its fluid

Okay I've not actually ever bled any brakes but just spoke to my mate said its alot easier with 2 people. Would it be easy to do the one on my own?

Ul need 2 unless you have a bleed kit..


1 to pump the brake pedal and another to catch the fluid..
