brake hose replacement question

I'm planning to replace all 4 brake hoses on my car when I do the brakes soon. Car is a 95 s320. Is there anything in particular that I have to watch out for when bleeding the brakes?? Are the chances high that the air will bubble into the ABS brain??

Purchase a motion brake bleeder

You don't have to listen to your wife, if you have a Motion brake bleeder.

Jack, don't you mean a Motive Pressure Bleeder?

The master cylinder has front and rear chambers. Be sure to keep both full if you decide to have a helper press on the brake pedal to bleed the calipers instead of using a pressure bleeder.

Motive Products

Here you go. Good to have if you don't have anyone to press on the brake pedal while you bleed.

Don't use anything except good quality flare nut wrenches. I like my pressure bleeder, but I like my daughter helping me out more.
