Default ABS brake bleeding nightmare

Had right front brake making noises
and pulling to right so I figured time to replace caliphers & pads and brake hoses upon completion I tried to bleed
pedal pumping method what a mistake
you have to use pressure bleeding pump cost $64 Amazon put on master cylinder cap took 5 mins instead of pumping my brains out
After bleeding got good firm pedal
but notice master cylinder had slight leak of fluid. Will check tomorrow if leak
stops changing fluid and pumping might have disturb dirty fluid and cause master cylinder leak . Nobody knows
if there is a rebuild kit
I ordered a junk yard master w/ abs module and keeping my fingers crossed otherwise Iam converting it to a old school master cylinder without
the abs module and avoid new $1,000
plus master cylinder.
modern technology sucks

You do not need any Amazon thingy to bleed H3 brakes, you just need to follow what the service manual says....... no pumping pedal either, all on line free for the viewing.

However, you did significantly more than bleeding from a caliper, you replaced lines so a pressure tool could help. Check the leak and connection at its source.
