OK, you've been on the forum long enough to know how to search. Let's see if you can find the thread that gives the directions for this.

Search "brake flush", or just look closely at my post above. It's as clear as black and white.

Man I looked at your DIY rotor and pads. Now u are asking a question


OK I stared a threard on Brake rotors. But this is what I did. I got Synpower brakefluid. Remove old fluid with turkey baster and topped off master cylinder with new fluid.
Bought the one man bleeder kit from Advance auto for 7 bucks. Started with the driverside, hook up clear plastic hose to bleeder valve, open the bleeder valve and pump brake about 5 to 6 times. Top off fluid and I pumped the brake another 5 times. Close bleeder valve and move onto passenger side front, passenger rear, and driver rear last. Make sure you keep the master cylinder topped off each time.

Make sure to flush a bit more after its clean and clear- then refill master cyl, cap tightly and move to next one
the order stated is correct for TL
LF driver front- then clockwise around the car LF RF RR LR

I like Valvoline Synthetic 1 quart 6 bucks is plenty of fluid- you can't store it- so use it all up flushing the lines~
My new 1 man system didnt work so we did the old school pump em up and hold- open bleeder- fluid out- close bleeder

Make sure not to push pedal more that 3/4 of its travel to the floor
A small block of wood- 2x4 under the pedal will prevent seal damage

Buy wife new turkey baster when done!
