Bleeding brakes
I changed the front flex brake lines and when I was bleeding the back I noticed that I forgot to close the hose screws under the wheel wells. Lots of air got into system. What is the way to bleed them now. Cam air get into abs pump or somewhere else that requires dealer to connect the computer? Or it's just regular procedure starting from furthest point?
Thanks

You should be able to start from the farthest point. It is always difficult to say where air has travled to. I would bleed the entire system. While your at it pick up a set of the quick bleeders and some 1/8th or 3/16 rubber hose from your local autoparts store. This will save you some time and the trouble of a helper plus allow you to drain the blowout into a container. When all is done test the brakes and the anti-locks to ensure proper performance.
