    I did a search didn't see what I was looking for. brake system was run dry. the abs was removed from car to change brake lines. Will the abs solenoids need to be bled or can I get away with a traditional bleed?

    if the master went dry you'll have to bleed it. on its own.

    the abs, it should pump fluid like a normal brake fluid flush.

    thanks the master did go dry but I primed it. I started doing it the conventional way and had a hard time until I got the master primed. I'm not done yet but my abs and tcs lights are on so I'm guessing I have a wheel speed sensor issue too

    to bleed the master. other then taking it off and bench bleeding it.

    you can pump the pedal like you would for a caliper, hold the pedal, then crack the line nut on the master, you will hear air spit out, do each line a few times till its just brake fluid forcing out the nut.

    i like to put the wrench on the line nut, then wrap a rag around the line nut to keep fluid from spraying all over, or in your eyes.
