No, I didn't do it exactly as you reference, however it was close, I didn't have the bleeder valve open when recycling the ABS. I'll need to purchase more fluid to do it that way. The 2 liters I bought are almost gone.. I have been driving it now and they feel pretty good so I'm thinking when I replace the rear pads and rotors, I'll do another bleed.
I also planning to pick up the cable and software you referenced, especially now that I'm not in a hurry..
Thanks again for sharing.
