[W126 Coupe] ABS brakes

[Markus Meyer]

Dick brings up a great point if you are using a pressure bleeder.  Those two
rubber caps at the rear of the master cylinder get brittle/cracked with
age.  If you use the pedal method, usually not an issue.  But if you use the
pressure bleeder method, you will have issues if there are cracks and the
fluid will blow all over!  They are cheap parts, even at your local stealer.
