did a check of the first 10 pages some info seems revelant but still have questions.
will fluid come out the bleed fitting as it will in non-abs system?
is it possible the abs valve has failed-plugged up?
if so can I bypass with some sort of union?
the front discs are newly rebuilt and function perfectly btw.
'94 v6 4l 4wd auto.
any info appreciated. brake and suspension experts please chime in?

When open and the pedal is pushed fluid should come out of the bleeders, ABS or not.

It's possible for the RABS valve to plug up and block the rear lines. I have also seen the bleeders plug up and not let fluid flow. On my 88 BII I had to have the engine running and push the pedal to get anything out of the left rear. On my 78 Olds I actually had to take a 1/8th drill bit and drill the crap out of both sides of the front bleeders to get any fluid flow. Check your bleeder screws as well. Just take them out and try to blow through them.

The RABS valve can be bypassed and the system will work just like a non-ABS system.
