Brake Fluid Change

[Andy_L]

Ha ha I bet you're all thinking he doesn't even know how to do a brake fluid change.

Well actually sort of...........

See do I

A) just loosen the bleed screw one by one and pump the brake fluid out that way topping up the level to ensure it doesn't get too low and thus air getting in the system.

B) Use a vacumn pump to remove the fluid from the resevoir and then refill and bleed. (Where do you get a vacumn pump from??)

C) Loosen the bleed screws one by one and pump all fluid out and then using a bleed kit refill and get rid of any air bubbles??

Use a big syringe!! instaed of a vacuum pump! also bleed them in diagnal. driver front 1st then rear passenger side then front passenger side then rear drivers side is how i read to do them also using those easy/self bleed pipes with the oneway valve helps

I vote d) buy an easy bleed air pressure bleeding kit from hell frauds for about ?15.

makes the job infinately easier (not fannying about with the pedal)
