Default What needs to be done to remove the ABS module?

I'd go out and look after work, but there seems to be 14" of snow burying the Oodi... and the dealership service manual which calls the backseat home.

Does the ABS pump need to be removed?
Does any of the fluid need to be drained?
The real reason for asking these questions: Is this something I can do quickly and easily in the cold and snow or am I going to have to borrow a buddies garage for a few hours this weekend?

Regardless, the module is going to be sent off to Module Masters in the near future. I'll gladly pay half of what ECS wants in addition to getting a five year warranty.

And just for the fun of it, look what went on just before the snow hit:

Thank you Mike at Pure MS for sending these out before the Colorado weather turned sour.

Default Are you saying that wheels cleaners can damage the finish on the calipers?

Good to know. Thank you.
