As it is I'm gonna have to pay the local Stealer to bleed brakes cuz ABS brakes apparently have to be done with their fancy computer. Grrrr...
I would definitely do it my self to save the $180. The only reason it can be a pain is because it takes a little patience. Draw a good diagram and take your time and it will be worth saving the $180 to spend on something else.

I had mine put on at the dealer. One day then back in the game. So worth the money to not bother with it.
