Title: Abs removal...
Post by: Adam fc on March 22, 2010, 07:09:32 PM
Hi,im looking to remove my ABS this weekend and im wondering if the master cylinder has enough power to maintain good brake pressure on its own without the abs pump?

Yes, the turbo master cylinder has a bigger piston and alloy not cast iron :D

Yep its find, I think you have to change all the brake likes for EGI lines though as the ABS pump makes all the lines longer due to where it is in the car - ie on the opposite side to the cylinder.

Also, is your ABS fully working, if so, can I nab the 2 solinoids so that I know I have a set that work :D

Ah right,well im ripping the pump and control unit out and handing it over to someone who can flare and join the lines as i have no experience with this and to be honest brakes are the last thing i want to be bodging lol.

I understand that you remove the abs pump find a t piece and connect the associated lines and jobs done,but as i say im not going to be touching that part of it:)

If you remove any of your sensors from the wheels in the future then I will buy them from you. They will need soaking in WD40 as they often weld themselves in.
