Hola Amigos! I have a question someone here may be able to help me with. I have a 94′ Civic EX, and about 6 years ago I removed the ABS fuse because the ABS dash light came on and I did not want to pay to have the system repaired. The brakes have been working fine ever since. Recently I have replaced the Master Cylinder and a front caliper, so I felt the need to bleed the system. The fluid was looking pretty bad too. My question is… Do I bleed the brakes as if I never had ABS, or do I have to do something with the ABS unit? Again, the ABS fuse has been removed, but brake lines still go through the ABS unit. Any help would be great. Gracias!

You have to bench bleed the master cylinder prior to install it. You can replace master and caliper in the same time after that. I would bleed at the wheel you are replacing first until no more air and nice fluid color is flowing out (check your reservoir) then I would bleed the 3 other one until nice fluid color is flowing.
You should have any problem bleeding as long as the master is bled first. The abs unit need to be bled when it’s replaced but if no air is coming before the abs unit. everything should go smooth

I hope that gives you the info you’re looking for.
BTW the Honda manual states brake bleeding order to be LF, RR, RF, LR
Good luck.
