Put the car up on jack stands. Remove all 4 wheels. Place some kind of collection pan under each wheel. Without applying any pedal, open all four brake bleeders on each wheel. Make sure you mantain brake fluid in the master cylinder and let it gravity bleed for about at least a half an hour, the more the better. You will notice the fluid coming out is not clear until you see that it is. Hence you have flushed the brake system. Once you get the wheels back on and down on the ground take the car out for a drive. perform numerous panic stops to cycle the ABS system to clear out the ABS system. Now you can spend a couple thousand dollars to pressure bleed the system with a pressure bleeder or do as I've explained. Happy motoring. Moe
There is a pressure bleeding system, but it's really expensive. You can usually just gravity bleed the system. It will take a little extra brake fluid, but it's the cheapest and easiest way for you to do it at home. All you have to do is put the car on FOUR jackstands, take all tires off, COMPLETELY open the bleeder valves on all calipers and let gravity do its thing until the fluid is coming out the same color as what you're putting in. It may take an hour or two. DONT PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR ANY REASON WHILE THE BLEEDERS ARE OPEN. Keep fluid in the reservoir so the brake booster doesnt go dry.
I think that is what Expertec said didn't he? The owner of the vehicle does also need to cycle the ABS system just to get new fluid into it. You do that by a panic stop two or three times.
