Default Line Lock Install Questions...Need Help Quick!

Hey,

Just got done installing the line lock...I havent bleed the brakes yet though.
But when I press on the brake and let up....theres a weird squeaking type of noise when I like let up off the brake.

Is that normal because I havent bleed the brakes yet...Im gonna do that tomorrow while Im changing my rims to my new CCWs since they will be here tomorrow.

Thanks

Weird, I guess I never tried to hit the pedal before I bled the brakes.

I used a Mighty-Vac.

I wouldn't worry about it.but you don't want any of the seals to dry out while there isn't any fluid in the lines..I use blue formula D.O.T.4 grade fluid..

Good Luck..Don't forget to check for leaks.. :rolleyes:

Never got a weird squeek, I did the old method of pump and bleed at a shop and it worked fine.
