    Default Brake bleeding on a 540i with ASC

    Hello all.

    I was considering potentially replacing the calipers and brake lines on my 95 540i. But when reading through my bentley manual I found that you need some special tools to bleed a brake system with ASC. Since my 540's got ASC I was wondering if this tool is available somewhere? Actually, even if it were, should I even attempt the job? Does anyone know just how different/diffcult ASC makes things?

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Default Same as on non-ASC cars

    I've done it several times without a problem.
