It will take longer, but will work just fine.

True unless you get air trapped in the the ABS module itself. Bleeding before or after won't help. The unit itself would have to be bled.

Mine was a fresh ABS unit I had just pulled apart, there was definitely air in it. Like I said, it can be done, its just time consuming.

I'm close to doing some brake work so I thought I'd see if I can get rid of this too. I've read several people that do a brake job, and replace the hoses but it doesn't fix the issue. And when we're talking about replacing hoses/lines for this issue, we're just talking about the rubber hose at each wheel, right?


So what else can it be and how do figure out what exactly is causing it?

When the pedal is soft/low.....is just a low pedal or are the brakes not evenly applying brake pressure?

Also, does anyone know what the specs are for whether or not Disco rotors can be turned/machined?

Thanks
We were told by one auto parts store we couldn't turn/machine the rotors on our 00 disco 2...another said yeah, and we did...that was last year sometime...no probs
