Yes...don't bother unless you are changing out the ABS pump.

Subject: DML: DRB for bleeding ABS brakes

I am getting ready to change front brakes on my 2001 Dakota w/ABS. I have
serviced the brakes before, but never bled the brakes on this truck before.
Truck only has 90k miles. Service manual calls for traditional bleeding,
then hook up a DRB to the truck and have it bleed the ABS system, then
another traditional bleeding. Obviously, I don't have a DRB sitting in my
tool box.

Are there any tricks to get the ABS system bled without a DRB?
