IIRC, only the gravity method doesn't work with ABS. You should build one of the pressure bleeders from a small pump-up sprayer. It's cheap and works great. Someone here posted the instructions years ago - - - On Sat, Aug 5, 2017 at 7:17 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com>

It's been a while I could not remember if mitivac worked with abs or not. I have 2 or 3 of them, but can't find the stupid hoses and the reservoir that goes with it. Will probably buy a new set. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 5, 2017, at 7:03 PM, OK Don via Mercedes

Just gravity bleed it. Fill reservoir, attach drain line to right rear caliper bleeder and direct into can, let it bleed while keeping the reservoir full. Takes some time, watch the drip drip until no more sure bubbles coming out, close bleeder. Don't forget the rear compartment of the

So I when out back to the rusty 95 e300 to harvest the rear exhaust for the green 95 I started driving. After I pulled it and got it in the shop I discovered it was cracked in the same spot as the one it is replacing. I decided to try out the HF 220v welder. I got t welded up but it ain't
