05 Caravan ABS-Brake Job Question

Carabus · #1 03-31-2007, 11:11 PM

I am doing the front brakes on my 05 Caravan tomorrow, where is the ABS bleed screw? I have been told that I have to use this or the fluid may back up into the ABS motor? Tips???

3.8L and 4 wheel disk brakes!

Finished the job with out bleeding and all is ok! Just compessed pistion slowly!

Just a quick tip, if you have the 3.8l motor with 4 wheel disk brakes make sure you get the pads with the hooks on each end. There are 2 listings at some stores!

the easy way to prevent crap/sediment from inside the calipers from going back into the system was to open the bleeder screw on the caliper then push the piston back this is a cheap flush
then you just top up the master with fresh fluid
most people dont realize brake fluid breaks down and soaks up moisture
lowering the boiling point(brake fade)and rusting parts/lines from inside
thats why they say replace/flush every 2yrs/??????km
