Bake fluid flush

[Tim7139]

Took 15-20 oz. of Super Blue. Ke....rist, what did they do, mount the master cylinder on the frame then build the car around it? Took forever to get the pressure bleeder cap on the damn master.

I'm guessing you missed the access panel in the front drivers wheel well?

Last spring I bought a brake bleeder vacuum kit. Now changing the brake fluid in a car is a one man job that takes about 30 minutes.

I have done six cars and a F250 so far.

I buy two large cans of fluid. You will need an air compressor to use this kit.

I bought one similar to this unit

I have one and they are not bad, although mine is the original hand pump unit. I believe, however, the pressure systems that connect to the master work better in a lot of systems. I use the pressure system from Motive and it eliminates any air being left in a caliper. The rub for these cars is connecting the cap with it's hose to the master. It's a tough bend through the access panel and has to be done from the engine compartment .

You're guessing wrong.
