If you're reading this, I'm guessing you don't, so have a friend pump the brakes a couple times and hold the brake pedal down. If you have a pressure bleeder, attach it to the reservoir, and pressurize. You can use a turkey baster or something to remove as much old stuff as you can so you don't have to pump it through. Make sure your brake fluid reservoir is full. Paper towel optional, but there will probably be a little dripping.ħ) Here's the part with no more pictures. Put the end of the tube leading to your fluid catch bottle over the nipple. Pic of the nipple with the rubber cap removed:Ħ) Get your wrench around the nut - you only need to turn the nut about a quarter turn (maybe less), so position your wrench accordingly. There is a small nut on the bottom of the nipple. With the wheel removed, you'll see a small nipple under a rubber cover on the backside of the caliper. You don't have to remove it, but I found it easier to see how much fluid was in the reservoir with it gone.ĥ) Start at the furthest wheel from the master cylinder (passenger rear). There is a plastic piece surrounding the reservoir and the abs pump (still there in the pic) that just pops out.
Three screws and a button removes the panel, but be careful, there's a couple wires there still attached. Put enough brake fluid at the bottom of the bottle to submerge the end of the tubing.Ĥ) The brake fluid reservoir is under a panel on the driver's side of the engine bay, right under the windshield. I poked a hole in the soda bottle cap and fed the tubing through. Be careful with brake fluid, it will eat your paint.Ī couple feet of clear plastic tubing (1/4" I think)ġ7mm socket and a breaker to remove the wheelsĢ) Pull the wheels off (wouldn't this be a good time to give them a nice bath?)ģ) Assemble your old fluid bottle. Warning - All the standard stuff applies. After my last track event, I flushed my fluid and took a few pics.
#Brake fluid flush how to
Someone asked a while back how to do a brake fluid change.
