Would you be interested in breaking this off into a thread of it's own? The Boss could then archive the repair.
The bigger issue is hosted photos disappearing. Photos from third-party sites often just disappear after several months, a year, or just some day, crippling what would be a good archival thread/topic. On important threads it is best to have the photos uploaded to the native site (zggtr.org) if possible.I'd be glad to do that, only I'd have to figure out how it's done. I didn't know we could host pics directly on the forum.

Could you not also post them in the Media section shown on the menu bar above?

Great job man, many kudos..
I have a donor non functioning unit sitting here presently that I had planned on disassembling for a post mortem just as you did, but have not cracked it open yet... hopefully I find the exact same issue with this one, which will go a long way to corroberate the failure,
I will take as many photos as possible also during the event, and share them here also.
I should have done this a month ago, but the weather has not co operated here in Ohio, till just recently...
Just out of curiosity, where there any stampings and part serial numbers you noticed on the assemblies, that we may use for future references, to identify the production date or code for documentation?
Thanks again,
The frt brake solenoids seemed fine. I could move them with my fingers. I still flushed fresh fluid through them also. It's messy to do, and wastes a lot of brake fluid, but I think it works. After I buttoned everything back up, I had the idea to submerge the unit in brake fluid, but To do that, the pump motor would definitely need to come off, and I advise against that.Apologies, my mind does not track well here. I wanted to clarify so that I can replicate your success.
Apologies, my mind does not track well here. I wanted to clarify so that I can replicate your success.They move in and out. It's a very small amount. Probably 1/8 to 1/16 inch. Once freed up, the stuck solenoid on mine has functioned normally since. probably 1K miles so far.
The solenoids are the 4 metal fixed tubes under the electronic control module. How did you move those with your fingers after the love taps with a mallet?
I partially tore down my ABS unit, and found the sticking solenoid valve. Took the snap ring out, and freed it up. Cleaned it. Wasn't terribly dirty inside. Air will now blow through the rear brake line ports. I'll reassemble tomorrow, and test it out.Ahhh! I hav been reading lots of posts but missed the snap ring statement above. That it what i get for doing my research at midnight at the end of long days.
Ahhh! I hav been reading lots of posts but missed the snap ring statement above. That it what i get for doing my research at midnight at the end of long days.That's a writing mistake on my part. I'm not sure why I put it that way, but when I found the sticking solenoid valve. removal of the snap ring isn't what made it free up. It wasn't even necessary, as the snap ring I removed didn't allow access to the sticking valve. I need to read over My stuff and correct the mistakes.
At this point I am past fixing my pump as I have found an alternative solution. I still have the burden of intellectual curiosity ruining my mental health. And that question is, how do you remove the snap ring? It is not intended to be a serviceable component. I see Jamie the super hero got it done. I want to be like Jamie and only a tamper resistant snap ring remains in my way. Any suggestions?
So what I am getting out of this thread is that there is potential for a failed abs pump without a warning light that I need to worry about and we are hoping NHTSA will force a recall. Have I missed anything important?
I am tempted to use parts from my non running 09 to convert the 08 to non abs.
