I have a 2000, Ranger equipped with ABS. I'd like to bleed the brakes; you push on the brake pedal and you seem to push and push and the brakes suddenly grab. From all I've read, this is the classic symptom for air in the brakes, necessitating bleeding. However, all sites advise that bleeding ABS brakes is totally different than bleeding non-ABS brakes and may even require special equipment.
Anybody with some thoughts/suggestions?

I don't know how it's different. It's just a bleeder screw and some fluid. I've only bled brakes on a few vehicles but they all had ABS and it was incredibly simple. At least the concept was, the project is time consuming.

Just bleed them as normal, starting at the farthest wheel from the master cylinder
