93 ranger, Blew rear line, fixed, now no fluid

[tdnp]

WE fixed a blown rear line and now have no fluid to the rear brakes.
Fluid out of reservoir into the ABS Hydraulic Valve nothing out.
Do we need a special tool?

The reservoir was empty and guaranteed to have air

Thanks for the help

The ABS Modulator is known to corrode inside and not pass any fluid. Sounds like you need a new one, and they're not cheap either. I had to do the same thing a few months ago. Don't need any special tools, just a working modulator

Just replaced mine less than a month ago. I got it for 115 at autozone. You could get one at a junkyard, but theres no guarantee its good

If you don't care about (R)ABS, can you just bypass the modulator, and do without?

Yes, many have done it, including myself.
