I installed new front brake calipers yesterday. After installing the left caliper, I bled the brakes the conventional way by starting the engine, pumping the pedal, holding, then cracking the bleed valve. Got out some air and the pedal came up. Done this dozens of times. Then I replaced the right caliper and bled again, same way. No air and the pedal wouldn't come up. Read the instructions in the manual (always the last thing) and discovered that I should have bled without the engine running and should have disconnected the ABS sensors at the actuator.

Problem: can't find any electrical connections to what I presume is the Actuator, located below and slightly toward the engine from the master cylinder.

Can anybody help me to bleed this animal?

I have a similar problem with my wife's 2001 I30 Have you found a solution? I have seen posts on other sites which I will attempt tomorrow. two sequences both suggested by alldata bleed in order rr-lf-lr-rf and another says rr-lr-lf-rf. I have plenty of brake fluid so I will start in early.
