if you don't know how to bleed the brakes either A: learn how its not that hard or B: use the repair option without disconnecting the brake lines (which i did) its not that hard to just wedge the unit up and get under it with a key.

Keep in mind that even if you bleed the lines you still have to bleed the ABS modulator. The dealer does it by using testbook to run the pump. You the home mechanic will have to do it by finding a steep drive way or hill and use your HDC. It'll run the pump long enough to get all the air out. Then rebleed the lines. You'll have to bleed the lines first so that you have brakes to begin with, then use HDC a few times to bleed the abs pump, then bleed the lines again.

Default ABS Shuttle Valve replacement question

Mike - the Falcon works kit came in, and I made Josh's mod to the Shuttle valve (the ground and wire connections - the kit als includes 4 little valve plunger snap rings and two shuttle valve plunger seals - do I need to install them in the modulator too, or can I skip that - I was hoping to use Josh's option B and just replace the shuttle valve with the re-wiring.
