OK.. point duely noted..
That is fine if you are a factory service department with a lot of special purpose (high $) tools. However, if you are willing to research the topic and then rely on your own judgement and accept that the job can be done in your driveway by yourself, and exercise some caution, the job is doable with no special tools...
Just as an example... when my brakes were failing a few years ago, I called up the Ford dealership and asked them what it meant.. their reply (not surprisingly) was (said with a slow talking texas accent) "well, you know ABS is a comlicated system.. you could get hurt severly if you don't know what you're doin.. but we'd have to run a diagnostic on it first and that runs about $100, which applies to the bill if we do the work (Hook set!) and let me look it up here.... Oh yeah... says here a new brake unit runs $1400"
OK, so at that point, for $1500 worth of questionable information, and exercising the option to seek alternatives, I decide to research the topic here at SCCOA. Turns out, my accumulator was worn out.. Ordered a new one for around $250, read up on how to install it, and fixed it myself. Now here's the hitch.. later, read up on the diagnostic procedure from a shop manual... nowhere in that manual did it state the 2 most common failures of the Teves II ABS: worn accumulator, and failed pump motor relay.
Anyways, I guess my point is this is the place to get some of the most cost effective repair advice you'll ever get, keeping in mind that no amount of advice is a substitute for thinking and you yourself are responsible for the results.
