is there one here i have no idea how to do it (other than the obviose take out old put in new) and its that time (wow 3 years....) anyway i looked though 3g garage and did search but if someone knows where a good diy is for this could someone provide a link. also if its not something to be done by with a person of moderatly low auto skills then someone let me know.

 

check the 2g DIY section
Same procedure
Basic skills ok
Use small piece of 2x4 wood or similar under brake pedal- you only want it to go 2/3 of the travel- that protects the seals in the brake system from being pushed too far

 

Check this link for additional links to the process (it's easy) https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ke+fluid+bleed

And this thread on the bleed sequence as well as process:

thanks for the info guys looks like something i probably wont be trying on my own

 

Its easy to do and hard to screw up

I can see if you had known air in the lines and dont know how to tell when the air is gone- but
to just do a regular flushing of thr fluid- its like chaning the engine oil

 

Most folks that do this without knowing what they are doing result in air in their brake lines.
- Yes it is an easy procedure, but best to perform with a partner that understands the activity as well. IE don't release peddle pressure prior to the bleed valve/nut being closed.. And don't get the brake fluid on painted surfaces. An old vet size syringe definitely comes in handy to initially suck out the master reservoir.

 

I agree-
Its NOT a job for 2 noobs- 1 must posess training and experience
If you put a little fresh fluid in the catch bottle and place the 3/16" ID clear plastic hose from the bleeder into the fluid- you eliminate possible back sucking of air

It does take pre-arranged communication and a few precautions
I use a turkey baster- easy to find at store less than 2 bucks
to remove MOST, not all, the fluid from the master, and I put a throw away towel
under-around the master- you can also use a long skinny funnel to add fluid

Flush FLUSH FLUSH
I just took the calipers apart that I replaced on my car- even with 3 flushes this year
there was bad looking fluid in there, even 1 time washing the engine- with master covered- still was too much moisture I guess
Brake fluid is hygroscopic- meaning it sucks moisture right out of the air and past the little rubber o-ring on the cylinders cap
Important to change every year or more- its cheap and takes under 5 minutes per wheel

And you wont believe the tiny rubber o-ring on the piston that makes the whole thing work-the smallest bit of moisture gets compressed and shoved thru the line where it becomes rust particles looking for something to destroy

For those that feel comfortable- this is for you
Not sure- let a shop do it and be safe

Pics of internals coming soon

 

That's what my mechanic is for!

 

I (and my assistant) had no prior experience with this when we did it. It's not that complicated if you can read/follow instructions (which I got on here, posted by you as a matter of fact). This is as easy as changing the oil.
