Do you need the tech 2?

Do I need to activate the abs to bleed my rear brakes with the tech 2?

I cant seem to get anything out of my bleeders

[1Badlt1]

u kno u can bleed the brakes at each wheel right?

[lozanoa11]

im shure he knows that but some cars you have to cycle the abs to blead the brakes. But you shouldent have to i did it in my 98 without a scanner. weather i did it the right way or not im not shure but make shure the master cylinder is full.
how are you bleading them? a power bleader might work better

u dont HAVE to have one, but if someone pushes the brake same thing (I would assume)

i really dont know if he knows that i know the kid personally

make sure that the bleeder screws are clear of any gunk, They can get clogged which will cause nothing to come out.

I am fairly certian that you have to have a tech 2 or at least a scan tool with the right card to acess gm abs systems. We have a tech 2 at work so anytime we have a gm vehicle in I just use it anyway.

And yes sometimes you have to bleed the abs system on a car to get out all the air in the brakes. But most of the time just bleeding them at each wheel works fine, Is the brake system a diagonal one? if so bleed the system diagnonally (right front then left rear, left front then right rear)
