Hi. I know this is an old thread but I have a question I can't find an answer to. I have a 1995 accord ex v6 with an ABS light that is throwing code 1-8. I have the accumulator and need to replace it. I have rigid brake lines so I will need to take the whole unit out to change it. I've seen videos of people changing it without disconnecting the whole unit. When I do this and reconnect everything do I need to bleed just the ABS system or will I need to bleed the calipers as well? I feel comfortable bleeding the ABS module but not all 4 wheels.

Thanks.

If it were me, I'd bleed the wheels and the ABS module. I think the wheels are easier to bleed than the ABS. Just don't let the reservoir go empty (either ABS or main brake reservoir).
