Installing

Note:
Remove the sealing plugs from a new ABS
hydraulic unit one at a time, and only when the
corresponding brake line is to be connected.
If the plugs are removed too soon, brake fluid
can escape and it can no longer be certain that
the unit is sufficiently filled or adequately bled.

- Mount ABS control module to hydraulic unit
using new bolts.

Tightening torque: 4 Nm (35 in lb)
- Reconnect ABS hydraulic pump connector. The remainder of the installation procedure is the
reverse of removal, with the following additions:
