ok... i need some help... i want to leave the abs disconnected on my s2, but need to bleed the brakes. is there any special order or do i just do as normal.. btw there are no belts....

ta len!

 

come on !! ineed the help!!!

 

come on!! u lot must have a idea?

 

Do it as normal mate i.e furthest away from the reservoir first etc

 

AJ, ta mate...

 

you will need to do the rears while they are on the ground as well, if you jack up the wheels the load apportioning valve cuts the flow off

 

ive only ever been told to do it from the furthest point first

 

im the same,i work in a crash repair centre and we always bleed the brakes starting with the furthest away from the master cylinder first

 

No probs kid

 

cool thanks peeps all done and cushty now!!!

 

No probs matey glad you sorted it

 

I keep getting told that it's better to disconnect the ABS, is this so and why?

 

was just gonna ask same thing.anyone tell us why its best to have off and does it make a big difference

 

cos the abs is poo !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Its not poo when you slam on big time and it allows you to steer round the object you are about to hit.Mines saved my ass a few times.It really does work.I had a mate in the car and had to brake massively to avoid someone once and I went around him.my mate was calling me the best driver going.didnt tell him it had abs though.I was always led to believe that bleedin brakes started from the shortest pipe to the longest.I know getting the fluid through the abs system can be a pain in the ass.i was stood in a ford workshop once watchin the mechanic bleed mine and he was cursing like there was no tomorrow.
