Re: Brake bleeding - '96 XJ w/ ABS
Matt, that was taken out of context, I also explained how to open the
accumulator's reservoir to the master's in simple terms. So that Poster didn't need to open the valves via tool. Just like a service station would replace a caliber.

Ok.. I've stayed out of this thread for a while but this is getting sad. Providing you do not let the reservoir go dry, bleeding brakes on an ABS equipped vehicle is no different that a regular setup. The problem occurs if you get air into the solenoids. Your not going to get 100% of the fluid out, but you will get most of it. I've done it dozens of times without any problems. Both by having someone press the brakes and by using a vacuum bleeder. The key is to take your time and not let the reservoir run dry. -- DougW |

Agreed, the most important part is don't let the reservoir go dry
