Make sure you have the car running when you bleed the brakes to activate the ABS/advancetrac solenoids.

Replying to: jandpvm (Aug 27, 2009 7:37 am) To bleed the brakes - probably. You could try it either way I suppose. Just FYI - I tried using a vacuum bleeder to pull the fluid out through the caliper and that did not work very well. Personally I'd get some speed bleeders, crank the car and use the pedal. That way you know it's going through the entire ABS system. Replies to this message: toomanyfumes (Aug 28, 2009 2:09 pm)
