Already lost all the fluid from the system. Do I need a whole new brake line in order to fix this or can i just cut the old out, flange in the new? Thanks for your help! Gonna replace pads anyway due to saturation. ALso -0 even thought pedal travels to floor, do you think I have to bleed the ABS too or just primary brakes. How can I tell if both or just one need to be bled? Thanks! Garo   Paul T.

Bleeding: You'll bleed the whole system when you bleed the brakes. Paul
