Brake Fluid Change

[MMoyle]

Hey Guys,



I would like to change my brake fluid. What is the best way to do that? Should I just bleed one wheel at a time until all the fluid it gone? Refilling as I go so I don't put air in the system?



Thanks

Mike

Mike,



A couple of months ago, Pastor Bob posted a trick he used (which I should have saved to a file) that seemed very clever. I can't repeat it verbatim, but I believe he kept the reservoir cover off, and one at a time opened the bleeder valves, in the proper order. He used a gravity drain to fill the lines before closing the valve. All the while making sure the reservoir level didn't drop too low. Then after all were done, went through a traditional (although quicker) bleeding process.



Anyone alse remember this? All my years of doing brakes, I never thought of something so simple.

Nope. I don't, sorry.





My fluid is changed out regular like due to the pin-holes in the steel lines and swollen flex hose.

Tug,

I don't remember ereading it in the Pastor's post, but my son taught me to do it that way... except he has more than one bleeder open at a time. I just can't keep up :-laf
