Will do! I really have so much motivation to get this done - I'm sick and tired of not being able to trust my car while driving it.

I just took a look at the service manual, and I see that 3 bolts hold the ABS module and it's bracket to the body of the car. They are bolted from underneath the module, so I'll have to lift the front of the car and remove the wheel and the plastic liner. It seems that all the brake lines that lead into the module are so long that they inherently have enough play to move them out of the way enough to lift the module straight out. I think this will be easy. Annnnd...if I'm correct, the brakes SHOULD still work without ABS. Haha.

EDIT: I also did some research in joining pieces of hydraulic line (brake, clutch) together - the proper technique, bar making a new line altogether, is to do a double flare with a nut on each line, and join them with a flare union and threadlocker. And all it requires is a basic flare kit and tube bender. I think I can pick that up at harbor freight for the cheap, if I need to make more line.
