theres not going to be any brake pressure built up. the only time there's a pressure build-up is when you press on the brake pedal. you can pull the abs fuse and then put some rags below the lines on the abs module to catch the fluid that will come out.

Very well had to be certain thank you. Only other question would be will I need any sort of scan tool or the like to clear out any codes or anything after completing the part swap?
