Brake Bleeding Procedure for abs any different?

[89lincolnlscinoc]

I just want to make sure that I can bleed the brakes as one would normally do, or if I need special equipment because of the abs, I've heard some cars with abs have specific procedures

thank you

you can bleed the brakes as normal - but for flushing all the old brake fluid out can require that the abs solenoids be cycled to allow all the fluid to pass.

Seems I always had to run my Mark VII to get the brakes to bleed. With it running it would bleed normal. Without it running, it wouldn't work.

There is a special procedure to follow to do it yourself. Follow these directions: http://www.lincolnsonline.com/tech/00021.html

make sure you pull the brake line off at the caliper you dont want to push all the dirt through the abs sensors believe me

What? isn't the ABS sensor a electro-magnetic sensor the reads teeth off a ring gear mounted on the spindle?

Correct.
