Please reply w/the procedure for bleeding the ABS system...I screwed up and let air in the reservoir.
I am (very) familiar w/the non-ABS bleed procedure.
After searching, I've found @ least 2 different Nippon ABS systems on '90-94 Legacys. It appears there's an Auto and 5-speed version?
My '93 w/the AT looks like this:
Others look like this:
I can't find a bleed valve/nipple on mine, but read VRG3's link HEREthat there is one on the other Nippon system.
Thanks

Well, I'll find out if I get the same result.
I stomped on the brakes on a local dirt/gravel road - 'under construction' - and the ABS kicked in & the car stopped RIGHT NOW....I was surprised as it barely slid, if @ all. I've read the ABS on the 1st Gen Legacy sucked....
I'll bleed 'em again.....

You can also have someone hold the brake pedal down, pull the ABS fuse, and then reinstall it. I believe this will also cycle the ABS pump.
I tried this, but didn't hear the pump cycle, so took it for a drive.

A lot of people say this.....I wouldn't say it's true. The ABS works. The subaru ABS can tend to be a little sensitive, ie activate when going over a bump or unevent pavement while braking.
To me that's not a big deal......it still stops the car.
