Default abs pump unit replacement
i have to replace my whole pump unit shortly. when i disconnect the hard brake lines going into the top, is it just a matter of bleeding the brakes as normal once the new unit is in? farthest wheels first etc etc

Why are you replacing the hydraulic unit??? If you are replacing the ABS module it is unnecessary to remove the brake lines and hydraulic assy.

It's the closest brake caliper to the pump first on these, goes against the grain but that's JTIS advisory.

not unless it's powered up, just make sure you're ready with the exchange unit, and plenty of rags around so as not to spill the fluid.
