Default Brake Fluid Change

Hi there,

Anyone got a link on "How-To" change brake fluid?

... is this a hard job?..... do people usually DIY it or get some specialist to do it?...

I do the small services myself... but usually take it to someone for the Major services every 30K...

cheers

Dead easy,get a easy bleed kit from halfords it screws onto the top of your fluid res,then you attach the other end on a tyre, open your brake nipple and it will push the old fluid out,then all you do is the reverse,fill res up with fluid and it will push it back into the system,did this on a mk1 escort by myself,noone needed to pump peddle
