Default Brake Fluid Change Question... Specifically Disabling ABS

I know you suppose to disable ABS when changing brake fluid. What is the best/proper way to disable ABS on S2000? Do I just remove the fuse or is there some kind of jumper that I can remove?

Thanks in advance!!!

Eh? I've never heard of this disable ABS business to change brake fluid. Where did you read this? BTW, if you're hellbent on doing it, there's a fuse that disable the ABS circuitry.

I'm a bit too. You do a brake bleed usually with the car off. With the car off, the ABS is already disabled. According to the service manual, the S2000 is a simple bleed, with no regard or attention to the ABS.
I realize that on some cars (like my old Vettes), it was necessary to bleed the ABS solenoids as an additional procedure and this did not involve "disabling" anything. The S is not in that catagory.

Wow Road Rage, you have "the bleeder thing?" Cool. In working on Hondas for 8 years I've only had to use it a few times! Wow, you're the man!
