Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richard L" data-source="post: 981467" data-attributes="member: 52972">I have always advocated flushing the brake fluid at every brake job or eery 2 years, which ever comes first.  I don't recommend "Sucking out all the fluid" as this can lead to air in the master cylinder that can be difficult to remove unless the master cylinder is removed and benched bled, which makes the whole process much harder.Just keep the master cylinder reservoir filled and bleed the brake at each wheel starting from the furthest from the master cylinder (right rear) to the closest (left front).  Top off the master cylinder after bleeding each wheel.  If you have a brake bleeder, that's fine, otherswise just get an assistant to pump the brake...even a kid can do that as long as they can reach the pedal and push it all the way to the floor...:grin:I have never heard of flushing brake fluid since there is no way to bleed the system?  You can only add fluid to the pump reservoir.  Power steering systems are self-bleeding by simply turning the wheel lock-to-lock ....Rich</blockquote>
