Hey guys 02 camaro with stock brakes, well after running the Texas mile I guess I fried my brakes! Warped rotors it feels like... gonna replace them this weekend... wanted to take off calipers and sandblast them and paint them but from what I understand you need a tech2 to bleed abs brakes..?? I have a tech2 but was wondering if anyone had done this before? I hate brakes.. but it needs to be done! Any info on how to do this with a tech2 would be greatly appreciated!

I have bled my brakes without a tech2. I don't think you need one. Brakes are super easy on these cars!

As long as you don't try to push air through the abs block you shouldn't need a tech 2

I honestly didn't know what a scan 2 was until I did a search and found some threads. I had just done new calipers and new seal kits on my hawk. I bought new bleeders but found a thread that said to let it just free flow and bleed itself. I watched it closely and air came out all on it's own. After 20 min, I put it all back together and brakes were great. I know your problem is different from mine. Here are a couple threads I found for you, maybe they will help.

Good info on your "warped" rotors.

at these brake companies claiming warped rotors don't exist. Ignorance masked with "knowledge". They just don't want to warranty their parts. They are right about TV from LMT as it is a problem and is often misdiagnosed as a warped rotor. However, rotors can and most certainly DO warp.

Back to the OP. You only need to perform an ABS bleed if the HCU gets air in it. Why would air get in the HCU if you're removing the calipers? Remove the hose(s) and put a vacuum cap on the hard brake line(s).
