Changed brake fluid

dogdoc · 05-21-2008, 02:18 PM

Got busy and changed my front/rear brake fluid as the front was turning amber, rear was still pretty clear. Bought some prestone Dot 4 at wally world and jumped in. it will surprise you the color of the fluid at the rotor end(BLACK) even though the rear reservoir was pretty clear. Anyway i got both front/rear all flushed out and new dot 4 and bled the lines. Cost: about $2 to do both, priceless. moral is dont trust the site glass color, job takes maybe 15 minutes per. :-)
