Brake booster and master cylinder change on an ABS car

[MarcoGTTurbo]

Hi all,

My brake booster is stuffed and have a replacement.

Ive never changed one on a car with ABS? Is it just the same as a non ABS car? i.e take out the old unit and put in the new and just bleed the brakes at the wheels as normal? or does something need to be done at the ABS module?

ANy help would be great.

I dont want to stuff anything up by being under knowledged

Thank you

Mark

You don't need to bleed the brakes if you only change the brake booster. Just unbolt the master cylinder from the old brake booster and put the new one in place, if you have room to do it. If you change the master cylinder as well, just bleed normally. Some times abs unit gets air and it needs a special tool to get it out, but in most of the cases you don't need it.
