Im thinking about bleeding my brakes so they can work, but i have no engine, and pulled the upper wiring harness.

yea if your doing all 4 then start with the passengers side rear first and then drivers front kriss cross very simple...pump pedal like 3 times hold it down open the bleed screw quick and close it quick keep repeating that process until the pedal gets nice and hard

Wrong. You start with the caliper that is farthest away from the brake mc. And since our hardlines goes across the firewall to the passenger side you should start with the driver rear, pass rear, pass front and then driver front since the rear brakes have 1 hardline then it splits to 2 in the back and the fronts both have seperate lines.And yes you can do it with no engine/trans/harness in.
