I recenrlty got one of those eBay CD service manual and so far I'm pretty pleased with the info that's on the CD. I couldn't open the on-line RAVE CD properly so I went this route. The first order of the repair is to replace the RR brake caliper tubing, which I got got a new one from AB. Upon looking in the service manual, I was surprise to see what little info the manual gave for bleeding the brakes. Even though the info was correct, I guess I was expecting some elaberate multi-step procedure for bleeding the brakes.

My only question, should I be concern about bleeding the ABS unit or once all four corners are bleed the ABS unit will also be bleed?

Still the best in my book. Start with the RR then go LR, RF,LF. I think if you hold the pedal to the floor the ABS pump will cycle, but I haven't done this myself...

Cheers

That's what I need to know. With the ignition off, the ADS mudulator unit shouldn't cycle. I guess I need to keep it simple and not expect any special procedure K.I.S.S.
