I was changing front pads this weekend and noticed that my brake fluid is pretty nasty, and should be changed. I know how to bleed brakes, but is there a quicker way than to pump it out the bleeder valve? I read in some of the other forums about sucking it out of the master cylinder with a turkey baster, then bleeding the brakes. This sounds like a good way to fill the lines up with air. i will take any suggestions.

thanks

 

Empty the master cylinder w/ a siphon or other means of recovering the old fluid. Refill w/ new fluid. No air is entrapped unless you operate the brakes w/ an empty M/C.

You can use a pressure bleeder to force fluid down each brake line or a suction bleeder to pull the fluid down the brake lines.

Bleed RR, LR, RF, LF in sequence for best results. It sometimes takes quite a while to get clean fluid.

good luck

 

Thanks, I realized after I posted that as long as I keep refilling the fluid it should not put air in there
thanks
