One suggestion I will make......if you do not have a one man bleeder, get
one........after years of incompetent people pumping the brakes so that I
can release the fluid, I bought one of these for around $30 (a big one) and
I do it myself.......this way I can see the clarity of the old brake fluid,
and I bleed the system until it is clear  thru all the lines......old brake
fluid holds water and should be replaced every few years.
