Brake fluid flushing

You need the right fluid and keep the reservoir full so you don't pull any air in. The
only thing this won't flush out is the ABS part of the system. What you do is start at the
rear most brake that would be the rear passenger side. You put the tool with the
recovery reservoir on the breeder screw and open it. Before doing this I like to remove as
mush old fluid from the brake reservoir with a syringe and fill it back up. (saves pumping it to the back)
With the new fluid in I then pump the vacuum pump up and let it draw the oil fluid. Checking every now
and then to make sure I still have a good level in the reservoirAfter a little bit I close the bleeder and push
the brake peddle down to help exchange the old fluid in the master cylinder then re fill the reservoir open the
bleed screw again and pump until I get new fluid at the hose (keep checking the reservoir level). Then I move
to the other rear brake and do the all but the master cylinder again. Pump it until you get new clean fluid.
Close the bleeder move to the passenger front side and pump until clean fluid close bleeder move to the
drivers side and pump until clean and finish off there. Top off the brake reservoir and your done.
NOTE : There is a way to do the ABS system but I think you have to have the right scan tool to move the valves
to flush them.

You should only need a SCAN Tool if you SUCK AIR or Change a Brake system Component UPSTREAM the ABS Module . Once this happens the air will get Caught at the ABS Check ***** so you must use the scan tool to cycle the ABS Check ***** to get the AIR Bubbles Past the ABS Check *****
I have used a MityVac alot for this it works OK But I wouldnt spend the $85.00 on one. But if you do put grease on all the seals to avoid sucking Air
If there are 2 of you the Old Fashion way with one working the Brake and one at the Bleeder is the FASTEST I have found for a DIYer
Or since the Master cylinder is the High SPot you can do it with Gravity.
It takes longer but Iv bleed mine while changing the Oil and Filters. Just stay close take cap off the Master Cylinder and Crack the Bleeder open and keep an eye on the reservoir fill as neccesary the fluid will bleed itself threw
Maybe some of you guys have seen these but this is what I am going to try next time. They look like the Tool of the Future LOL
Has anyone tried these if so how did you like it??????????????????????
I like this First style the Best


Or this style
