The ABS portion of the braking system must be bled separately. Under most circumstances, only the base brake system will require bleeding. If the anti-lock brake system must be bled, proceed as follows:

  • Ensure all brake system components are installed and all hydraulic lines are connected securely.
  • Conne...

The ITT Teves Mark IV and Mark 20 Anti-Lock Brake Systems are designed to prevent wheel lock-up on any road surface when brakes are applied. They are composed of a complex network of electrical and hydraulic components but should usually function much the same as standard, non-ABS braking systems.
