The best way to bleed ABS brakes is with
a pressure bleeder and a bi-directional scanner so that the ABS pump can be operated.This ensures the system accumalators are all bleed fully by operating the pump during the bleed process.
Everything from «The brakes won't bleed correctly because it is a hybrid», «We had to order a special
pressure bleeder, but we got the wrong one», «Everything is fixed but the computer won't reset», to «hybrids need to pressure bleed for over two weeks sometimes».
At the shop I use
a pressure bleeder.
Or use
a pressure bleeder?
Not exact matches
This way uses the
pressure created by pushing the brake pedal to force the fluid out of the
bleeder.
Cracking the brake
bleeders would «fix» it during any particular instance by releasing the
pressure.
After a test drive and you suspect wheel drag, open the caliper
bleeder screw on the wheel that is dragging, if fluid squirts out (back
pressure), then you have a blockage upstream from the caliper, if no fluid back
pressure is present then suspect a bad caliper.
But ultimately I realized that any
pressure further up in the line, no matter the source, could be relieved at the
bleeder.
