Replacing a RABS Valve / Brake Bleeding

I have to replace the RABS valve on my 98 F150. I have the new valve and removal and replacing looks straight forward. Is there anything I should be on the look out for?

How do I bleed the brakes?

Thanks

If it's like mine on the diff, unplug, unbolt 1 bolt, and pull out- might be tight. Installation is obviously reverse. That bieng the case, no bleeding needed.

My RABS valve in mounted right under the master cylinder. It has 2 steel brake lines hooked up to it. So that means I would be breaking into the system.

Blue is confusing the valve for the sensor.

Take a look at the flares on the tubes to make sure they look ok. I wouldn't expect any issues.

To bleed, just do a standard pedal bleed. You can find details on here if you search around the forum. Basically go to each wheel, open the bleeder, and then pump the pedal (close the bleeder before releasing the pedal) till the new fluid reaches the wheel.
