I'm planning on using a vacuum hand pump to do a brake fluid exchange on my 2015 Accord. Like most modern cars it has ABS. Do I need to do anything special with the ABS pump to do this successfully? I'm more interested in keeping the system air-free rather then getting every last drop of old DOT 3 out.
Brake fluid flush for 9th generation Accord

Speed bleeders are awesome 
And no, you don't have to do anything special with the ABS. Honda only did that in the early 90s

Here's what would be most cost effective;
1. dump gas, clean out fuel tank
2. change trans fluid
3. ditto brake fluid
4. ditto differential fluid
4. new battery
5. new tires
6. LS1 swap

Did I miss some deleted posts? What do those have to do with changing the brake fluid.
It's been 20 years since using the hand pump for that job but still remember how sore my hands got. It does work but is tedious compared to the canister pumps.
You are correct. That was posted elsewhere. My mistake.
Different sequence than usual for Honda/Acura vehicles;
Clockwise from LF-RF-RR-LR. As others mentioned, no need to bother with ABS.

Thanks, all.
I'm planning on picking up some Prestone MAX DOT 3 today and possibly doing it this weekend.

PB Blaster on the bleeder screws a few minutes before cranking them open will be your friend
