'95 Rear Brakes Bleeding Help

I have to replace the steel brake line that goes across the rear axel on my 95 XLT. Is there any special way that the rear brakes need to be bled? I'm concerned about the RABS system and getting it right when I bleed it. There is no air in the system (yet..). Any/all responses are appreciated. Thanks..

nothing speacial about it just start with the right rear and have someone pump up the brakes and hold pressure on the pedal while you open up the bleeder. make sure they dont let go of the pedal untill you close the bleeder, because that would put air back in the system. i would do each one about 5 or so times making sure the peadle gose all the way to the floor before you close the bleeder. and make sure that you check the master cylinder after each side, because it will get low and start pumping air into the system.

Just use SpeedBleeders and do it yourself. You can pick them up at NAPA, Advance Auto, Rock Auto, and on and on. Less than $10 for a pair.
