Of course you do.



Better make sure all 4 bleeder screws will come loose instead of break off.....before you start. If any break off you can add that to the list.

Lol,

bleeding brakes means you are removing any air in the line, your new lines will be FULL of air, so the obvious answer is yes, and it can take a hell of a long time with brand new lines
