Is there any thing unique to bleeding the S70 ABS brakes as opposed to the older non-ABS systems? I will be doing it by pumping the pedal rather than a pressure bleeder. Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks Jim

    nothing to worry about on the abs. just don't ever floor the brake pedal. the master cylinder may not like it. use your left foot under the pedal while pushing with the right. keeps from going too low. good luck, chuck.

      ABS system bleeding is like the conventional brake.

      However, NEVER NEVER and NEVER allows air to get in.

      ALWAYS make sure your brake fluid reservoir is full to start and check all the time. Once air gets in the system it is a nightmare!
