Brake issue
My car (01) convertible showed some fluid on the ground the other day when I was thinking of taking it out for a spin. Looking closer the fluid was from the brakes. I burst the break line on the driver's side rear. As a result the fluid drained out of the system. My question is after replacing the line will I have to get someone with a tech II to bleed the system or will just refiling and bleeding the line the old fashion way do the trick?
To be complete when I started the car to move it where I could work on it all of the brake warning lights flashed and DIC indicated that I was being foolish for even starting the car to move it. ABS, Traction Control etc was signaling.
Thank you in advance for the response.

You can get away with the old fashion bleed, fill, bleed, fill but you won't get all of the air out. Try and find someone close to you with a Tech II and have it done right.
