Brake lines and bypassing ABS box
Hi...
Recently had front brakes replaced.. and had a soft pedal for months...
Just in the past weeks had a brakeline renewed and went thru the whole bleeding procedure.
I / We did not bleed the BPMV unit ( I found this out later , as it is supposed to be the first step) the brake pedal is soft again.
My main ??? Is there a way to completely bypass the ABS box and just use a brake pressure rail?? I couldn't care less about the ABS part of things. I would rather have " good old fashioned power brakes.
Thx

When I replaced a front Caliper on a '99 that dumped out the entire reservoir of fluid, I bleed the brakes just like I would on a non ABS vehicle. it worked fine.
You did the rears first then the fronts?
Bleeding is better if you run a hose from the bleederinto a cup of brake fluid and pump a few times OVER the pump a few times loosen/tighten the bleeder.
