Is there a way to swap master cylinder/vac booster w/o getting air in the HCU?
I have a 93 Sport 2wd with 4w ABS. The brakes work great, but the MC has a slow leak (light comes on and I top it off every 2-3 months). The vacuum booster has missing paint and some rust right below the MC attach point, so the leak seems to be coming from there. I want to change out both parts before the problem gets worse, but I do not want to deal with trying to have the ABS unit bled. After reading this forum I know it requires a special tool that most dealers don't have and can't get any more. There is one on eBay, but it is like $400 for the tool and wiring adapter.
So my question is; Is there a way or technique to replace the master cylinder without getting air in the ABS unit, so it will not have to be bled?
