sjk,
I add this thought because you changed brake pads a short time ago.
When doing a brake job on an ABS car, always apply the brake pedal a couple of dozen times with the engine off before tearing into the job. If you apply pressure to the caliper pistons without doing so, the pressure inside the accumulator increases beyond the diaphragm's maximum and causes failure .
Alternatively, you can clamp the brake hose down by the caliper with a pliers specifically designed for pinching lines shut and back off the caliper pistons by opening the caliper bleed screw and letting the pressure out that way. I'd still pump the brake pedal just to be safe.
The second option may be best since, as Ari so eloquently put it, ABS guts are not cheap and any contaminated brake fluid heading back towards the pump or accumulator has the ability to cause expensive problems.
Good luck.
JD
