[QUOTE="ShelbyGuy, post: 7200884, member: 10042"] then you're doing it wrong, because thats where your air is. you *must not* let the master cylinder reservoir run dry otherwise it will suck air. put a hose on the end of the forward-most bleeder screw on the master cylinder. put the other end of the hose into the master cylinder reservoir, with the end below the level of the fluid. pump brake pedal until the bubbles go away. repeat with the bleeder screw closer to the firewall. then pump about a pint through each caliper. don't complain about the price, because unless you're using castrol srf, nobody wants to hear it :) start with the caliper farthest away from the master cylinder, which is passenger side rear. bleed it until you get new fluid with no air. then do the drivers side rear, then passenger side front, then ddrivers side front. always work from farthest away from the master cylinder to the closest. if you have fixed front calipers with two bleeder screws, start with the outer bleeder screw first, and then do the inner second. even if you did get air in the abs hcu, you wouldn't notice it until the abs servo cycles. there is minimal fluid inside the abs hcu, and it would trap the air with it until the car noticed a lock-up condition and released that fluid holding the air, as it cycles.
