Bleeding Teves IV HCU
I would like to build an adapter to bleed the HCU like you were doing a couple of years ago. The info I have indicates that the pump is turned on for 60 sec. During this time the outlet valves are pulsed open sequencially at a 10 Hz. rate for 20 seconds. This should remove the air trapped in the HCU.
Then the wheels can be bled as normal. Do you have any more info you are willing to share? Did you get your adapter to work? Did it make the brakes solid?
Some are saying that bleeding the HCU does not help with spongy brakes but I am wondering if they are not being done correctly. I contacted a shop to bleed my HCU but they will not tell me if they have the T90P-50-ALA Ford tool. They just say they can do the job. I have to question if it is being done right.
