i haven't changed the brake fluid in my gte since i bought it, so was wondering what the easiest way to go about it is?
also, how do i stop the front discs from squeeking when braking?
cheers guys
Copper grease on the backs of the pads where they touch the caliper should stop them squeeking.
Easiest way to change the brake fluid is just open the bleed nipple and drain all the fluid out(like bleeding the brakes)
Then refill the system with new fluid and bleed them.
Get a Eezi-bleed kit, uses air pressure to force the fluid out, works great!

the nipples are on each caliper at the top and on the rear of the drum take all your wheels off with the car on axel stands and get someone to sit in the car and pump the pedal as you open the nipple and let the pedal up after you close the nipple of keep topping up the reservoir do this until the fluid is clean hope this helps
