I would strongly suggest POWER BLEEDING (as per WIS), instead of VACUUM. There is a greater change of causing bubbles in the system by "sucking" rather than "pushing" the new fluid through the lines.
Also, I know many who advocate (including me) changing the fluid EVERY spring, especially if you live in a humid environment. It is such an easy, quick, job.... and since the cost of ABS parts are astronomically expensive, why take the chance? But, this is just my .02. |

I've used your procedure for years and found the British made Eezibleed unit is great. You need to use the spare tire for pressure but the unit itself is very compact. It also comes with the Ate type cap adapter for our cars.
This is in my view a very easy and cheap DIY job and the most rewarding since you can really feel the difference in the brake pedal. I feel the updated two year interval is toooo long for me.
