Help!! How do I bleed an ABS brake system 900 1996

Hi Neil,

"There are two bleeders on the mc, is the one closer to the firewall for the rear brakes and the front one for the front brakes?"

I don't know for sure. Used to be they were just the opposite.

"I had to reuse the old bleeders from the other mc. I did notice the rear bleeder was leaking slightly after i initally changed the mc."

I would replace both bleeders. If fluid can leak out, air can leak in.

"Is it possible for a bleeder valve to let air in without losing fluid especially on the mc?"

Good question, I don't know. I would replace any bleeder is question.

"Can brake lines be spliced with another section or do you have to replace the entire section?"

They can be spliced, you need a DOUBLE Flare Tool to do this. The lines are steel and you need a good quality tool to do this right and have no leaks. These lines are put under a tremendous amout of pressure when you hit the brakes hard. The line is flared once, then bent back over itself with the tool. Check the price of the tool, it might be cheaper and easier to replace an entire section of line if you need to.
