Brake Switch Replacement

I need to replace the pressure switch on my F250. The switch is located on the master cylinder. Seems pretty straight forward, but will I need to bleed the brake lines after I replace the switch?

Thanks for the help.

as long as you dont pump the pedal when you have the switch of you should be OK.... but if it was me, i would bleed them for good measure

Thanks,

If there is one thing I hate....it's bleeding brake lines!

I just changed mine last week. I didn't need to bleed the brakes and noticed no difference in the pedal play afterwards. If you haven't bought one yet, I got mine from rockauto for a little over $2.00 $5.50 after shipping.
