96 cav. is the car.
I broke the rear right brake line... I replaced the line but cold not get the bleeder open. I am looking to good (not the best) brakes to get this home so I can do it right at my place.
so I was planing on bleeding the brake from the line. this should work right? will I have to bleed all wheels or just the one with the broken line. what are the bleeders for on the master cyl.? I just need to get good peddel and good enough stopping power. please help.

If you lost a lot of fluid and drained the abs unit you will need to bleed all the brakes, you will not get a good pedal with your plan try and get a drift punch onto the area next to the w/c bleeder and give a couple of firm raps with a hammer, this will some times loosen the rust that is holding the bleeder.

the bleeder is broke flush... after I get it back home I am going to redo it all... just don't want to deal with the hubs to get the wheel cyl. out where it is at..
