brake bleed ?
brake bleed ?
Hello, i had just replace my front rotors and pad. Is there any special instruction of bleeding brake with abs? because i took to a mechanic and he only bleed the front but refuse to do the back due to ABS....
Some ABS systems require special tool to cycle the ABS valves/motor while you bleed the system, otherwise old fluid can be trapped in "hidden" pathways that are only open when the ABS system is activated. From what I've read, the special tool is crazy expensive so they may not have had one. Not all ABS systems require the tool and I'm not sure how to find out if yours does without doing more research.

So you saying that bleed just the front brake is fine?
