The JOD did this on a friend's CR-V that hadn't had a brake fluid flush during its first 8 years of life. The JOD went out to a wet parking lot to "open up the ABS module" after bleeding (with plans to do a second bleed). Then, he learned a really important lesson: not all cars made in '03 came standard with anti-lock brakes
The JOD won't be making that mistake again anytime soon...
