FWIW.......

In three flushes of brake fluid in the Lowrider, over it's illustrious career.....I
have NEVER been able to get air out of the antilock system by sliding the tires when
slamming on the brake pedal.  Not once, and I tried and tried the second time, after
seeing this on SHOTimes.com.   I didn't even think about trying myself the last
time.  

The way I get the brakes bled is to take it to the dealer and pay them to do it.  It
gets done correctly that way every time I take it in.  You HAVE to use that breakout
box they have, otherwise places inside the antilock portion will not flow the fluid.
