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.

(sigh). I hope you don't get him killed when his ABS pump fills with air.

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.

Agreed, the most important part is don't let the reservoir go dry
as the page I posted said.
