[QUOTE="Dennis Smink, post: 977486, member: 65589"] I was going to do a brake job on my 2001 Ranger (4WD). I had planned on changing the rotors because I believe these are the original rotors (152,000 miles). While reading the forums, I noticed Richard L. said the bleeder valve should be opened so old dirty brake fluid doesn't get pushed into the system when you compress calipers. I have 2 questions. 1. If I bleed the brakes after the job, would I still have to open the bleeder valve while I compress the caliper? 2. Is there a special procedure to bleeding ABS brakes VS regular? I have never bled brakes but I thought when ABS first became popular, that there was a special procedure. [/QUOTE]
