Sambo, now why in the world would you want to do that? You'd take two hours trying to move those valves by hand through as many cycles and one good 2 second skid would achieve. Do they not have ANY dirt roads where you live? Lotsa rich people in NY so maybe all the roads are paved. Dude, are you a HIGH ROLLER? Confess!!!!

Anyway - you don't need to "exercise" (or exorcise!) the valves - they get they exercise every time you drive the VX as part of the ABS self test procedure. It's called BITE - Built In Test Equipment - each solenoid valve gets cycled as does the pump. Listen carefully and you may hear the pump. I can't after Monday night. They sell some righteous fireworks down in South Cackalac! Tried out some new artillery rounds - brand name was Black Mamba - use a fiberglass launch tube - the display is not as pretty as Excalibur which is what I normally get but great googly moogly they were shockingly loud. Gotta remember the earplugs next year...

OK there you go my friend - everything you need to derail this train.
