The 4th Gen's with TCS have a strange order you have to bleed the brakes in. If you go in the wrong order it is going to F' everything up and you'll never get a pedal. It is right rear, left front, left rear, right front for . I used a pressure bleeder and followed the Shop manual and it worked just fine. I wouldn't use a Haynes manual to prop up my coffee table.

make that TWO things i was failed to be informed about....i also had the bleed sequence wrong. I did: LR, RR, LF, RF.

O well, those solo bleeders are still balls. and i didn't have a pressure bleeder.
i any event, i got the car back from the shop. Remeber that "LOW TRAC" light issue i had before, well the light still pops up if i slam on my brakes, HOWEVER, the car locks right up. I no longer feel like im sliding on ice and that my brakes just gave out. Now i have SS brake lines and HAWK pads and had the whole system flushed, so anyone of those things could have made the difference. I do feel a strong peddle, so i attribute that to the SS lines as i already changed the pads and rotors last yr (that was a walk in the park, not like bleeding these damn lines!) lol.
