I am just about to put new front brake pads in, and rebuild the calipers. The manual talks about bleeding the abs unit as well as each caliper, is this necessary ? if so, where is this abs unit that I bleed ?

 

Thanks

Hi John,

 

The ABS unit is in the boot under the floor on the RHS as you face the rear. If I remember, you might have to remove some plastic trim pieces.

 

I would follow the procedure in the manual for bleeding the brakes. ;)

Thanks Steve,

 

I'm thinking that if I clamp the hose near the front calipers I will minimise the amount of air getting in to the system.

got the caliper off, whats the best way of getting the pistons out? I dont have a compressed air gun

...........yeah, crap aren't they?

 

Bleeding lights aren't much better.
