Swapped the M.C. out on my Lightning, now I just need to bleed the system. Before I start (tomorrow evening since I need to get some more DOT 3 fluid) is there anything different/special required with the ABS unit? Just bleed like normal?

thanks!

 

Did you Bench Bleed the new Master Cylinder ? it's extremely important to do that, amof it's the entire job ??? If you did when you put the New Master Cylinder on you should have perfect Brakes as if they DONT need bleeding, (but of course do).

As for Bleeding, same ole normal way, Pump/Hold/Release

Nothing differant you'll notice bout the ABS but there is an "Dealer Only" way of bleeding that part of the system we're told, but that is of no interest or
worry, nothing you'll see or touch.

Being MR I havent had Brakes for years ("Formerly" I hope now)
Why did you change the Master ?

 

as far as bleeding the abs, the shade tree way of doing it is to bleed the brakes until the fresh fluid comes running out, then go drive around and do a few hard stops that engage the abs unit, then bleed again.

 

Good to know, Thanks Bryan
