just the fronts would work. but what would it hurt to bleed it all over. brakes arent something you want to go down the road with out

I here yea on that thats why its sat in my drive way and been working on it for last couple of months its been neglected. Also to add to I'm getting better peddle response from swapping haven't got to bleed them yet waiting on a buddy to get over here and then ill probably now if my knew brake booster is really bad or if it was just the calipers which is weird cause they've been upside down for quit sometime and had pressure thats just weird

Yea calipers are on right this time air is bleed out still a little slow on the return but they do stop probably going to bleed the whole system again or adjust the rod from the vacuum to the master see if that doesnt fix that
