How to bleed the ABS system on a 1997 GMC Jimmy?
Does anyone have a clue on how to bleed the ABS system on a 1997 GMC Jimmy. We replaced the brake lines to the rear brakes and now the brakes won’t bleed correctly. We think the problem is in the ABS unit (big aluminum thingy with brake line coming from the proportioning valve and going to the brakes).
