Brake flush

[jcthorne]

This is what is confusing about people saying buds is needed?

Ive bled plenty of cars w ABS. Simply bleed until clear at the calipers while making sure the master cylinder stays clear.

I could care less about the couple ounces in the ABS box, is that the only reason BUDS is needed?

.

Yes. That is the only reason BUDS would be needed. If you are fine with the 98% new fluid as you would be on every other vehicle you own, then just do it the old fashioned way. It really is that simple.

Okay, just did all three calipers.

Not sure why the suction method I first tried didn't work?

But bleeding by pumping the brake worked fine.

Master cylinder layout is backwards for whatever engineering reason. On the ST the front cylinders fill on the rear reservoir, and the rear caliper fills in the front reservoir.

Definitely had some dirty fluid. I like doing flushes on vehicles rather than have to replace stuck calipers in the future which can be expensive, etc etc.

Also installed my Airhawk seat, hope to try it all out tomorrow if weather permits.

now go find loose gravel, about 25mph, apply brake to activate ABS, now go back and re-bleed, should take care of those few ounces

I can do a little crazy driving to do that.... Lol
