When installing my brakeline extender should I bleed the brakelines or does it not really matter?
anything special i need to do when installing the extender?...or is it just a matter of un-bolting and re-bolting...
thanks

Anytime you replace a component of your brakes you're introducing air into the system, and the system must be bled. I can't imagine he'd include documentation that states you don't have to bleed the brakes. Trust me, that brake pedal will go to the floor after adding the extenders if you don't, and there will be no doubt then.

I created the brakeline extender so you would NOT have to worry about opening up the brakes hydraulics.
Simply unbolt the brakeline from the axle (breather tube bolt)
Bolt the extender down using the same breather tube bolt and attach your stock brakeline to the top using the supplied bolt.
Simple, no bleeding required. That is unless you opened up the brake system...which you shouldn't need to.
It basically repositions the mounting location off the axle.
Just look at the pics in my Vendor Showcase thread.
I didn't include instructions because it is so easy, almost as easy as mounting the diamond-plate thresholds.
