Curious...How do you remove air trapped in the ABS system?

 

If I loosen the Accumulator ball a little bit and pump the brakes, will it remove air trapped in the ABS system?

What makes you believe you have trapped air? If bleeding the pump, you can get air out through the brake line under a little more control but is messy in any case. A good accumulator should empty all the fluid from it when the brake pedal is pumped at least 25 times, or more like 30+ with the larger ball. If air has been pumped into the brake system itself, most likely you will need to bleed the entire system.
