Had to replace master cylinder, got air into brake system. Due to ABS components, don't seem to be able to effectively bleed brakes; air trapped in ABS pump/valve mechanism. Is there a way (without using expensive/unavailable test device or taking car to dealer) for me to get the remaining air out of the pockets where it is trapped? Car brakes effectively, smoothly, no pull but pedal unpleasantly spongy. Thanks, CMF
