I have personally never bled an ABS system after opening it up. Anything different from Non-ABS to an ABS system?

 

I heard you need a special tool.

 

wheres the suspension tech?

Brakes are part of the suspension.

Like something such as.......

 

i thought it was the same for ABS and non ABS models where you start farthest away from where the brake reservoir is located and work your way, ie if its on the drivers side, start on rear passenger, then rear driver then passenger front then front driver side.

Yeah, that is how you do it on non abs. But what if you only have one person to do it. You pump the pedal too much, and start sucking air into the ABS motor and associated parts, I heard its a bitch to get out.

Surely someone knows what special needs to be done.

 

the abs circuit doesn't activate unless the abs computer senses it from the wheel sensors. So until then, the brakes act as normal, and you can bleed the brakes normally; ie bleeding the brakes normally would not 'suck air into the abs lines.'
