Fellow Listers,
I need to replace my old discolored brake fluid with new. What technique =
have you used? Did you just drain all the lines and reservoir and then =
refill with new fluid? Then bleeding to get all the air out? Or draining =
the lines to where the reservoir is almost empty and then adding new =
fluid so as to prevent air from getting in the lines? Bleeding the =
clutch slave cylinder is not one of my favorite pastimes.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Elton
