ABS actuator removal

[thardy]

Since the SAS on my '96, obviously I no longer have ABS. Has anyone on here pulled the ABS actuator out? It would be nice to have that little bit of space under the hood for other things. Like maybe a custom snorkel or a windshield washer bottle, or a stationary air compressor, or something else that might be cool. I've googled it but didn't find much detail on how to bypass and remove it. How difficult is it? Any help would be awesome!!!!!!!

if you accomplished the feat of a SAS, then removing the abs pump should be child's play for you.

I helped DOC2012 (tried to figure out), but what I do is get a tee from another yota and from the the brake circuit closest to the brake booster, run a single line to the splitter then to each of the front wheels. Then hook the rear brake line to the front circuit of the master cylinder.

Buy a tube bender and try to reuse the existing brake line. The rear line will have to coil up on itself but with the tube bender, it should look factory looking.

I am sure that I could figure it out. I just figured if I could copy someone elses job that would make it faster and easier!! I'm not always into reinventing the wheel!!

What kind of effect will this have on my braking??

None if you already have abs disabled. The main benefit will be the system will be easier to bleed. Bleeding an abs system properly requires cycling to abs pump. Few have the ability to do this but overall its rather trivial.

It will break it and you will die a horrible fiery death.

Resurrection!!

Do the ABS sensors need to be dummy signaled or something to keep them from acting up?
