    I use a Mity Vac to suck the fluid through from the caliper screws. Without the SD2 you can't do the ABS mechanism, but if you are regularly doing he rest of the job, I'm told that is good enough. The Mity vac kit has a fill bottle to keep the resovoir from going dry.

    I gotta trick besides typical bleeding that seems to serve me well. We Racers use it all the time to help solve our brake issues. Get into ABS in a safe place like the track. That cycles the old fluid out of the ABS. So you flush system like normal. The threshold brake into ABS a couple of times and rebleed. Repeat the threshold brake and bleed cycle and you are pretty darn good. Best tip is to annually flush your fluid. This keeps the system clean and free of moisture and you won't have to worry so much about a proper purge with an SD.
