Hi, I ve noticed the numerous posts on here asking about the brake bleeding procedures.
I'm not replacing a small section of pipe or changing a caliper, instead I'm replacing the entire brake line due to corrosion.
My issue is, as soon as I take off the pipe, and replace it, I;m going to be left with a very long brand new pipe with air in it.
As far as I;m aware you simply bleed this as normal, but how can I stop any air getting into the ABS pump, and what can I do if air does get in there?
I have to ask as I am not near a major city (and outisde England), so access to garages or ford is not possible.
I have a vacuum bleeder like this, so I can bleed from the nipple myself, but should i have the brake pedal depressed with a stick, and / or have the engine running?
