btw the manual does show 4 resevoirs. hell if i've ever seen them and maybe they mean the abs block . course they do have a asection just for the abs brick .

You got me curious...so...

I just re-read the TSRM brake section, and could not find any resevoirs except the main one on the master cyl. Is the manual you are refering to the TSRM? or a Haynes, or Chilton??

Also...the TSRM proceedure on pad replacement is a bit out-dated. The latest knowledge is this....

On any vehicle with ABS, you should crack open the bleeder screw at the calpier to allow the pressure (fluid) to release when pressing the piston back into the caliper. If you just press it in (the old way per TSRM), you run the risk of pushing contaminates back into the ABS control block. This can cause the ABS to fail, creating a costly repair.
