After reading through the ABS brake bleeding write-up I'm wondering if it's possible to use the Mity Vac. At first I didn't think it'd be a problem, but now I'm starting to wonder.
Does it work or does the servo-assist / ABS foul it up.
TIA

After some looking around it seems that the Mity Vac and ABS aren't such a good idea. I found some wonderful write-ups over at bmwsporttouring.com

Any of you wrench-monkies got a problem with these write-ups? If not then I'll prolly try to follow them pretty closely.

Au contraire.
My conclusion is different. Mityvac looks spot on for the control circuit bleeding. Much easier to crack open a control bleed valve and draw fluid through by vacuum than pumping the brake lever(s).
Same is true for the clutch.
I would agree that it has no role in the braking circuit where you can use the benefit of the built in pump.
