Bleeding rear wheels
I got a test result for the boiling point of the fluid in the reservoir. They where not very nice 
. This of course meens brake fluid transfusion.
A have bled some brakes in my life, using a wrench and commanding my wife to push, release, push, release ...
I have never bled the brakes on this animal, so I had a preliminary investigation this evending. The calipers look easy enough, but the rear brakes? Is it some smartness involved in using that open, close, open method with the wrench. I really don't see how to get enough room?
Thanks!

Buy some Russell speed bleeders and install at all four locations. You then open the bleeder 1/4 to 1/2 turn and pump away. The Speed Bleeder has a valve that doesn't let air back in the lines. Makes it super easy to bleed brakes and replace all the fluid every 2 years. Cost $10 for a pair. Go to the Russell home page and see which size you need. Good luck.
