I replaced the master cylinder, both front calipers and two lines going from master to ABS unit that has four lines coming out. I cannot get fluid out of front calipers.

Hi,

If you bench-bled the new master cylinder, I suspect you have air in the ABS module. However, to bleed the ABS, you need a scan tool that has the capabilities.

If you look at the attachments below, they explain the procedure. Take a look through them and let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
