Cool Wes simpler than i thought! Only thing is, i was under the assumption that the rear load valves were to do with the abs too???? These not need removing?

Rear load valves are to do with weight (load) and adjust rear braking..... (need to be careful if the back is lowered!)

I worked out how much pipe I needed then took it to a mate of mine and he flared the ends for me, but any good garage should be able to do it.

Just make sure you bleed them with the arse end on the floor, otherwise you'll lock up big stylee. (its a right pain in the arse to do)
