When disconnecting brake lines...how much fluid loss?
I am planning on tackling my Linelock install soon...and I was wondering how much fluid loss, if any, should I expect when I disconnect the brake line from the master cylinder and the ABS unit?

very minor loss, but you will have to bleed all the disconnected lines again anyway, so you will have to refill the master cylinder again. a pint sized can of brank fluid should do the trick.

I've found that small plastic caps do a great job of capping off the lines until you're ready to connect the new lines. Also works great down by the calipers.
