ABS MOdule removal
I did mine about 2 years ago and it was quite simple. You need a very small Torx driver (05). I remember getting pretty good instructions from Victor Rocha's web sight (who also sold me the torx driver and did my repair). Google Victor and ABS and I'm sure you'll find him. Let us know how it goes, and if you need more help.

Thanks! I will check out the info re: Victor. Can you tell me whether it's a torx socket or driver i need? They seem to be a little hard to come by in that size, E5, without buying the whole set. (And I already arranged to have it rebuilt through a rebuilder other than Victor, so i can't ask to use his tools, unfortunately.)

ABS Bolts
Does anyone know if the bolts holding the module are ALWAYS the E5 Torx variety? They sure don't look like it to me. They look like regular/hex head bolts... Might make things easier if i just need to get a 5/32 or 4 millimeter socket rather than continuing my quest for the ever elusive e5 socket.

You probably won't find the E5 socket in a store or part of a set. I ordered mine from Sears, about $10 shipped.

well, i got two of the bolts attaching the module, but the two lower ones are stripped... Anyone have any tips for extracting these stupid torx bolts when they are stripped, or should i just take the whole abs regulator out and try to get them out on the bench? i am so frustrated right now i could give this friggin car away.
any tips would be great. thanks

Well, I wound up taking the brake lines off and taking out the whole blasted unit (which aint no picnic with it all intact). Got it on the bench and ground the heads off the stupid torx bolts and sent the thing away to be rebuilt.
In the meantime, anyone have a resource for hex head bolts of the same size? (4mm) There's no way i am putting torx back in...
Also, is it completely necessary to do a "power" bleed of the system on re-assembly (since i have drained so much fluid during this procedure)? Or can i just do it the standard way?
Tranks for all your help, guys.
