Default Brake Fluid change?

Hi Guys,

I am changing my Disc's and pads this weekend and just wondered about doing a full fluid change. I have never done this before so not sure how to do it. I know how to bleed them but thats about it.

Any advice would be great.

Cheers
G.

Remove what you can from the res (without emptying it) and top up with fresh fluid then bleed through as normal.

You have to do them all in one. The correct way (at least on a GC8) is right front, left rear, left front, right rear. I change the colour when I change the fluid. I have blue and yellow. In that way it is easy to see when you have all the old fluid out of the system.
