A basic question about bleeding brakes
I've pulled the copper brake line for the front passenger wheel from my 1996 850. (The brass nut to the flexible hose wouldn't come off without violence. I ended up cutting the nut off and now will try to reflare the end of the line.) When I put the line back in and reattach it to the caliper, can I simply bleed that line, or should I bleed all four wheels? Thanks.

If you haven't flared brake lines before, take your time and practice on some spare line first. I did a write-up for it over on MVS which could help you with getting ready.
+1 for the power bleeder. It'll take about 10 seconds per wheel to bleed. I was so impressed with the ease and speed that I *wanted* to bleed more then just my car!
