So Joel, how do I REPLACE the brake fluid? I have, as well, you get ol' Forrest to suck on one of the brake bleeder valves ... seriously, all you do is bleed ALL of the old fluid out, until all you can see is new, clear fluid in all of the reservoir AND new clear fluid coming out of each wheel bleeder valve AND the clutch slave cylinder bleeder valve. at this point, your system has about as much of the old fluid out as possible. naturally, somebody has to sit in the driver's seat and slowly add fluid as the process continues (or do as i do, crawl under, bleed, crawl out, refill, crawl under, bleed, ... etc.) >the usual coin... With song praising and extolling your virtues, yeah, yeah. where's the money!? :)
