I just put all new lines on my in-laws 2000 Chevy. They crumbled when i touched them. I am anal about washing under my 03 all year and thankfully my line still look good.

You can do it without the scanner. if you have the original ABS unit it doesn't need to be bled because it was already done when installed. but if you want to do it anyway, bleed it once, take it to a gravel lot and stop hard a few times to run the ABS, then go back and re bleed, same as what a scanner would do, just cheaper for you!
