Bleeding brakes - what's the issue?

[cgbier]

I have enough air in my brake system to fill a scuba tank. While I don't have an issue with bleeding the brakes, I wonder what is the magic with ABS.

I have searched this forum, but couldn't get a real clear answer on what has to be done with the ABS side. Any directing to the right direction would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I just read my service manual for 03 sport regarding bleeding the brakes, master cylinder and the abs. The way to bleed the abs is just to press and hold the pedal while you crack the line that connects the master cylinder to the abs module at the abs module and repeat until no more bubbles show, then repeat the process with the other one(do both front and rear). Theres more steps before and after but thats how to bleed the abs. May be different from your year, but might give you a lead.

Oh, ok, that's simple then. Thank you very much.

I'd assume, as the ABS is the highest point in the system, it is the last to bleed?
