Hi everyone I need help with my 94 p/up. I am going to take my rotors in to be turned, and was wondering if it is possible to take off my front calipers from my wheel hubs without having to disconnect my brake lines ( don't want to bleed them). I have 4 wheel ABS, and think the speed sensor is the solid metal line connected to the back of my caliper. Is this correct, that the speed sensor is connected to the caliper, which runs through a bracket, then connects to the brake line? Will I be able to leave the speed sensor and brake line connected, and hang the caliper in any way? Or will I have to disconnect the sensor and therefore bleed the brakes in order to take the caliper off the rotor. Thanks for the help everyone.

Well if you"re going to get your rotors turned, then i would assume you are looking for a stronger pedal? You would want to bleed your brakes, which isn't that hard at all to do. All you need is two people, a jug of brake fluid, a little bucket, some rubber gloves to keep the fluid off your hands, and a little patience. It's not too difficult, and you should do it periodically, anyway, so why not do it now?

did the 94 p/u's have 4 whl abs?? i did find this regarding rear wheel abs system:

for the fronts, you should disconnect the hard line and plug the open end to limit fluid loss and possibly prevent bending or kinking the hard line. make sure you support and secure the caliper(s) well, as fingerman pointed out, bleeding them after you reinstall the rotors is not difficult.

check this for your requirements:

Thanks for the help. So I guess you all are suggesting me to disconnect the brake line, and bleed the system. Will do some searches on what I need to do in order to do this.

So do I need to bleed the MC the 4 wheels, and also the parking brake and LSPV in that order?
