I suppose it's possible, but I'm running ATE Super Blue that was flushed two years ago when I had
the brakes upgraded. If it matters, the braking system is Eurosport slotted rotors (11.3" of
course), Ferodo pads, Velocity Sport SS brake lines, ATE fluid.

Nathan,
Is it possible that during the bearing change the pads were pushed apart
sending old break fluid up into the hydraulic system? I've heard that old
break fluid becomes thicker and could cause failure of the ABS if it ever
found it's way into the ABS pump unit, but at the very least it could just
foul up the system. Just a thought.
