i did the mazdatrix ABS-Delete thing with my ABS hardlines. It's just a T-Block and a Rubber brake line...honestly the part that took the longest was unbolting the stupid abs pump from under the hood...and tryign to not get brake fluid in a recent gash i had.



Just be careful with brake lines...yours are almost 18 years old so "handle with care" they bend and snap easily if youre not careful.

be sure to contain the leaking brake fluid as well, it will eat the paint right off the car

Well i re-bleed the brakes today. Did it twice actualy.



The previous owner said that he replaced the master just before i bought the car. Adn it seems that he did not get the brakes bleed properly. As there was ALOT of air in the lines and such. When i bleed the ABS pump there was ALOT!!!!! of air in there.

should show him pics of my bare underhood area lol.



i had my master cylinder and ABS pump both umm "go out with a bang". First the ABS unit exploded brake fluid all over the passenger fenderwell...stripping all the paint on that side, then the master went out spilling all the brake fluid on the drivers side stripping that fenderwell. it sorta sucked.

for some reason the frame rail that got it's paint stripped off by the brake fluid from the leaking abs isn't rusting... It just sits there uncorroded without paint or anything.

OK, so this morning i hoped in the car and the brake seemed to not be as firm as last night when i bleed the brakes. I mean its WAY better than it was before when it had loads of air in the system. But its still not perfect. :P
