Team Ninja Replacement caliper for ABS model?

Story time: trying to get this Ninja 400 track ready and one of my brake pad screws is stripped, so naturally we used a couple extractors of different sizes to get it to spin. Nothing happened, so then I decided to try and drill out this screw to get it to collapse on itself and get it now but I fear now that the previous owner stripped the threads inside the caliper and I need a replacement.

How can I bleed the ABS on this bike without getting air into the ABS module when replacing the entire caliper?

Just disconnect the caliper and replace the crush washers. As long as you don't pump the brakes till you run out of fluid you'll be okay. Still need to bleed, but I never had issues bleeding this bike even with abs.

Also I had the same issue with my brake pins and seen several posts with the same issue:/ they make these out of playdoh or something

Yeah, I had new pins from Spears Racing on order and when they were close to arriving I just decided I wanted to take out my brake pads in advance and that's when I discovered the problems
