Okay, I need to address something that is taking time away from the Camaro, and I figured I'd see if y'all have any tips.

When the dealer replaced my EBCM under warranty at around 30K, the tech chewed up the heads on the T-20 screws, and also did not anti-sieze them. So I have two that I can't get out and need to remove the entire ABS pump so I can get the screws out and send the module to be repaired.

I have never had to do any brake work on an ABS car, and I am just curious if there is anything specific I need to worry about when bleeding.

I have a reverse bleeder from Phoenix Systems that I bought on clearance at Eastwood. I have not tried to use it yet, so I have no idea how well it works.

Anything special to be worried about? The Haynes doesn't say anything special, but it is a Haynes, after all. I haven't popped the cash for a factory service manual for the truck yet.
