when I did mine, I bleed the front brakes only. You need to do that because when you install the new brake line to the line lock air comes in. If you feel that you can't bleed them, take your car to your local mechanic and ask him to bleed the front brakes for you. It shouldnt be more than $20

The line loc is mounted between the master cylinder and the ABS unit. After installation, you need to bleed the line at the ABS unit. The are 2 bleeder screws in the front of the ABS unit(little bolts with holes in the middle). Loosen the 1st one until a little brake fluid comes out. Have someone pump the brakes a few times and hold them in on the 3rd time. You will see brake fluid streaming out of the bleeder screw. When you see a solid flow coming out, quickly tighten the screw.

Do the same procedure with the second bleeder screw.

What you have done is get all the air out of the system.
