Removing ABS to install (Garfinkle) torque brace???

It seems pretty easy to remove the ABS to install the torque brace, but should I bleed all the brake fluid through the calipers because I dont want to cause a mess around engine bay. Those who have this brace how did you guys do this?
Pics would help also

you shouldnt have to remove the abs to install ANY torque brace. I really doubt it's designed like that.

You can actually make your own with parts from a hardware store. And its adjustable, I'll show a picture next time. My friend makes um, don't know if he would sell it, will ask if interests is large enough for some production run.

And yes you don't need to remove the ABS.

Nice setup, dig your battery brace, did you make it?

Remove the ABS with a rag in hand .You will not drip very much if no one touches the brake ped . Put a rag under the lines to absorb any drips . Drill the holes and install the bracket ,reinstall the ABS and bleed at the wheels . You will not mess your engine bay . You can drill the four holes with a short bit and angle drill but I find it easy and faster to remove the ABS . I think I have installed more of them than any one ,just guessing .Plus most people do not change there brake fluid as often as they should ,this is a good time to put in fresh syn fluid .
