Haven't heard of activating the ABS during a flush, but I have the factory service manuals so I can try looking it up when I get home.

Who suggested that?

Default Brake Line

I didn't realize how big this job is. Over 2 days and I only have 2 lines installed, and 1 other bent.
The rear 2 lines took over 1.5 hours each to bend up, and install. When installing the flare bolt, it has to be perfectly aligned to catch the thread. That's time consuming.

I have not even began the longest line from the ABS to the rear. I have no idea how I'm going bend that in there. I don't want to drop the gas tank.
Has anyone done it without dropping the gas tank?

I've read where people have re-routed it around the tank. Doesn't really matter where it goes as long as nothing can wear or otherwise damage it.
