I'm going to my novice DE at Hallett raceway in two weeks, and need to replace my dot 3 with dot 4. I did a search but nothing came up. Everything else on the car is up to specs. Whats the best method to do this? Is it just bleeding the brakes till all the fluid is changed? Do I drain the entire system, then refill and bleed, bleed, bleed?
Thanks in advance, Curt |

QUOTE flush half the fluid out through the caliper so as to get any grit or grime Whoa nellie!! I wouldnt want any grit or grime flushed through the caliper... I have drained the resevoir all the way down with a turkey baster.... then filled it with clean fluid for fluid flushes... If the resevoir has some nasty goo in the bottom... you can completely remove the resevoir and clean it well, then replace it, then flush following the usuall procedures.. I bleed the fluid at least once per track event.... and change the fluid yearly... You wont have any grit or grime to contend with if you "maintain" your brake system |
