ment. Dispose of it
properiw
4 Disconnect electrical harness connector (A) at hydraulic unit
(1998 DSC hydraulic unit in V-8 model shown).
Where applicable, detach electrical harness connector to
DSC pressure sensor.
Mark brake lines
(arrows) in relation to their placement on
hydraulic unit. Detach lines from unit using appropriate
sized flare wrench.
Seal open brake fluid lines and bores with suitable plugs to
prevent contamination.
- Carefully push aside brake lines from retainerslgrommets
that may be in the way of hydraulic unit removal. Use care not
to
kink brake lines.
- Remove hydraulic unit mounting screws. Remove hydraulic unit.
- If necessary, separate hydraulic unit from control module.
- Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:
Check rubber mount for hydraulic unit/control module. Re-
place if damaged.
Make sure all nuts, fluid couplings, thread bores and mat-
ing surfaces are clean.
Avoid bending pins on control module harness connector
when reattaching.
Make sure brake lines are securely seated in grommets
before installing brake lines in hydraulic unit bores.
Bleed brakes using
BMW Service Testeras described earlier.
