I see my creepy stalker is at it again. Weirdo.

According to the service manual you do not perform the ABS module bleeding procedure unless you change the unit. A wrench who claims otherwise is just out for more money IMO.

Unless you run the reservoir dry, you do not need to bleed the ABS. The amount of old fluid that might be left in the unit is tiny in comparison to the volume.

I could have sworn I asked about painting calipers...
G2 paint system is the way to go.It's strong expoy,really shiny, easy to keep clean compared to painting the calipers and a hell of alot cheaper then power coating.and taking shit off with a Crescent wrench.

There’s no difference in cleaning between automotive paint and the g2 kit. They both clean easily. Now, the use of a crescent wrench, that’s just being cheap.

You still can't get a handle on the fact that not all owners are mechanics , or have done any DIY upgrades before . and what is COMMON knowledge to you, might not be to someone else.
get off your elietest high horse.
Others that do know, also know bleeders don't always play nice and open to bleed them after re install and might not want to chance that, you know those doing upgrades on cars that are not brand new or see winter roads.
Go back to your crescent wrenching ways.
Those that do know what they are doing would tell others that are planning on cracking the system open to paint parts to test the bleeder screws first, slowly and if they don't feel like they want to turn don't force them. and not that you only need a crescent wrench and a foot and a rubber blocker .
Seems you forget that not everyone is all knowing and might not also have the tools to remove/turn a stubborn bleeder screw. Not everyone has a gas wrench.
