If I follow the instructions I should be able to do it, right? I mean is there anything else I should know? :)

If you have the Avid bleed kit and follow the instructions it's super simple. Just be very careful to eliminate all bubbles from the syringes/tubing so you're not forcing in any air.

Yes I do have it! Ok, maybe tomorrow night. Tonight I did the windows instead.

Another question - do I have to take the WHOLE lever apart to put in my new dangerboy levers?

The whole lever, no. Check here for a visual: http://bluecollarmtb.com/2008/01/23/danger-boy-brake-levers-installation/

OH AWESOME - thanks so much for the link!

I had found the Avid technical manual (http://www.sram.com/_media/techdocs/06JuicyTechManual.pdf) online but it was for a lever overhaul and it was sequential and unclear to me if I had to bleed the line to do it.

YEE HAA!!!!!
