It only leaks until you plug the line, then it stops leaking. You don't have
to have you MC bench blead, you can do this job yourself.

Yes.

Yes, and no.

If you disconnect the rear brakes and plug the line, the front brakes ought
to be unaffected. You will need to bleed the rear brakes in any case, and
you should bleed the front brakes "just because".

It's true the I can, whether or not you can is another matter.

That's a no, a yes, a guarded yes, and a maybe, and a request that you stay
in front until you figure this out.

Use a torch and the pitman are will expand and fall off, and you
won't need an American puller, but you'll need a kit/seals.

I'm going to go slow and test my work in an open area.

Why do you think Midas says "We stand behind our brake jobs"?
Because no one in their right mind would stand in front of it.

Me, I stand beside my work 100%. (cars can't roll sideways) :)
