Just replaced the radiator. Had to remove and then reatach the power steering and I believe brake lines. Everything looks fine, no leaks. But now I get a "check brake linings" message. Did maybe some air get in the lines and do I need to bleed the lines. If so, how do I do that?

Thanks

If you broke the brake lines lose. Of course there's going to be air in the system, you will need to people to form this operation, do not pump the brakes, have someone in the vehicle. As you break open the bleeder have them slowly bring the pedal down before it gets to the bottom Close the bleeder. And returned the brake pedal up slowly, do that several times on the front wheels, unless you've broken the lines to all the wheels, if that is the case begin with the wheel farthest away from the master cylinder, always checking, brake fluid after every wheel.
