I am replacing Pads&Rotors. Any special issues with ABS? This is on a 1993. I am familiar with the job I just wondered if there is any precautions with the ABS or ASR when removing the Rotors.
thanks for the help.

I just removed my front rotors and had them turned on my '92. No special precautions, just moved the calipers out of the way and removed the rotors.

Do not back flow the fluid to the master use the bleeder. Good time to replace the fluid keep the master filled do not get air in the system.

Thanks for the responses!
I am also changing the Brake hoses, I think it is time at 23 years, although only 34k miles.

Uh oh, I backflowed the fluid when I did mine over a 1000 miles ago just like I've done since 1980 when I started tinkering with my own cars.


My '92 vette brakes are working great.

I did it too back in the 80s just not worth the chance with abs I run new fluid out not crap back. But that is JMHO

I was saying I've done it that way from the 80's thru 2016 with never an issue. My '04 Silverado, '06 Express van, and my '07 Trailblazer are all abs.


What do you mean "not worth the chance"? Chance in doing what? I want to be safe and learn something if possible.


Thanks
Mike




What about the chance of breaking or not getting the bleeder to re-seal.


just kidding

See above with the bleeders just keep them clean with the rubber caps and a squirt penetrating oil as normal maintenance.
