    Default Anti-Lock ABS Brakes Hydraulic Pump 4 Channel - rebuildable?

    replaced the rear upper shock mounts and no more rattling noise.
    I bled my brakes and the right rear port of the ABS block is clogged. ( has to be some dirt or rust as fluid was filty...my own fault)
    can I rebuild it, if so who has the kit?
    Has anyone done this?
    or do I buy a used one off ebay?

    How do you know the port is blocked?

    That Ebay one is ugly, especially since the ports are open. You have any local pullapart.com around?

    it will not bleed...all the others bleed thru.
    even removed the line and blew air from where it connects to the bleed screw on the back of the caliper...
    is there a way to cycle the ports?

    yes looked for pick your part ...none in stock will continue to look

    I just found this...
    You need to cycle the abs if air gets into the abs system. It is done through the diagnostic connector with the BMW service tester. The abs pump cycles a little everytime you start the car, so if you bleed it a few times the air will probably eventually clear out, but the proper procedure is to initiate a special bleed routine through the diagnostic connector. A BMW dealer or a BMW only shop should be able to do it.

    I'm not really following you. You blew air through the brake line from the bleeder (at the wheel) through to the beginning of the line at the ABS unit?

    Did you get air into the system?

    Okay, there is a way to cycle the abs but I don't remember how. When I bled my brakes with the pressure cap it bled all four no issue, same when I mechanically bled them. Look into cycling the ABS unit so you can bleed that rear brake, I can't right now. I doubt the unit is bad, at least lets try to make it work before replacing it.

    I don't remember and am unable to look it up right now. I need 2 or 3 hours before I can.
