The brake actuator, # T43397007K, does not have to be primed. After you have replaced the parts needed and reconnected the brake lines, you will fill the reservoir with DOT 3 brake fluid, leave the cap off, and proceed to bleed the brakes. I have included a link to a video that shows how to bleed the brakes manually.
I have also included a link to the replacement actuator parts and a link to wheel cylinders we carry.
