ABS Brake Pad Replacement - What did I do? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be rwreagan on  Tue Feb 18 05:48 CST 2003 [RELATED]

That's good to hear. So the ABS hardware will allow the fluid to flow through without risk of bursting seals or something internally?

By the way, what's the preferred procedure for exchanging the brake fluid? I replaced fluid in a high mileage Mazda by pumping the pedal and alternately opening and closing the bleed screw as the pedal was depressed. After a few weeks, I had to replace the master cylinder. It seems that the pedal stroke to the floor during the bleeding process allowed the piston in the master cylinder to travel past portions of the cylinder wall that it normally didn't get to. With the age and mileage, the unused portion of the cylinder wall apparently had corroded enough that it damaged the seal on the piston, leading to master cylinder failure.

Is this a concern on the 960? If so, can I replace fluid with a gravity feed instead of pumping the brake pedal?

Thanks again for input and responses.
