Couldn't find an answer so I thought I'd start a thread. I'm just changing pads and rotors and heard (http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/1127-brake-rotor-vfaq.html#post7645) that you can't compress the pistons since it forces fluid back up into the ABS unit and damages it. Supposedly, in order to compress the caliper pistons you have to open the bleeder and then bleed the whole system. I can't seem to find any other reliable info that backs this up though. I just wanted to do the pads and rotors and be done with it but I guess I probably should flush and bleed the fluid anyway.
So I was looking at using something like this that forces the fluid and trapped air up the system rather than down so that the air is moving up and out of the system like it would naturally want to. They say it works fine with ABS. What do you guys think?
