(Car) Replacing Abs Pump - Rhoughts On Bleeding

[bjorge]

I'm about to replace the ABS pump on my 2015 Ford Grand C-max. A fiddly job, but I'm giving it a try. Motvated by potentially saving ~£2500.

I'm asking you about bleeding: Normally you're bleeding by pumping, but I'm thinking - since all air is in the ABS unit - would it be a good idea to force bleed from each wheel? The ABS unit is very close to the master/reservoir. I've got a large syringe to push fluid from the blleder nipples.

Any thoughts or experience, anyone?
