I plan to replace my master cylinder and brake booster in the ver near future. The booster doesnt need replacing, but im buying them as a unit. Does anyone have any tips on this procedure? What can i do to avoid filling the ABS unit with air? Is a pressure bleeder all i need?

get stoptech ones, they are very nice.

and use good brake fluid obviously during the whole thing.

the stoppers that come with the stoptech kit may also be able to keep air out of the abs unit, but vacuum bleeding with lots of extra fluid will also keep it out.

better results with a correctly done 2 man bleed instead.... other than that nothing special in bleeding the system with abs. Make sure you bench bleed the master first before installing it.

Bentley's manual says it should be done by "a professional".

I mean - how come it says that?
