Ignition does indeed need to be in position 1 so abs valves are open, I just disconnect the actual motor wire, then pressure bleed with me gunsons eezibleed.

I just assumed it did, I always do all mine at same time when change fluid every 6 months, but did think afterwards it was one end only needed, but wasn't sure at all.

the front's are as normal, the pump just provides "assistance" in the same way a servo would

the rears are presurised by the pump not your foot ont e pedal, so that's why they are a pain in the arse and require fiddling with
