Hi Everyone,
I've got a '96 GT and I'm looking to replace all my brake lines/calipers etc, maybe the master cylinder and hydroboost too as the car is 22 years old now.
The problem I have is, I've heard that bleeding the Bosch ABS unit is difficult and I'd need a particular scan tool to cycle the pistons inside the unit to bleed it.
I live in England so importing the parts themselves becomes expensive by the time I've paid shipping and import duties, so I could do without the extra expense of a tool I'm only going to use once, not to mention I have no idea where to get hold of one.
I've seen that ABS deletes are quite popular with you guys, but I'm trying to weigh up my options between keeping the car as it is, as ABS is obviously a benefit, vs simplifying the system and keeping the costs down.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Chris
