okay, so my brake fluid is like original to the car (a true concourse (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) ) so anyway, I want to change the fluid, as i looks to see if any of the hoses are just pouring the stuff on the ground......any suggestions?

suck out the old fluid from the reservoir. refill with new fluid. bleed the brakes clockwise from the right rear until you get nice clean fluid comming out of each caliper. make sure to top off the reservoir while you go. make sure you have a boxed end wrench and plenty of brake fluid, a buddy to stomp on the brake pedal, and a case of beer.
enjoy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

Take a syringe and suck out as much as you can from the resevoir. replace with clean new fluid. then start at passenger rear. keep bleeding AND FILLING till clear stuff comes out.
Then go to driver rear. same thing finaly passenger front and then driver front. IF YOU DON'T EMPTY THE RESEVOIR YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BREAK THE LINES AT THE PROPORTIONING VALVE. Note while doing the rears, you should hear the proportioning valve cycle as the brake pedal is pressed to the floor. As you open the bleed screw you can hear the proprortioning valve cycle. That way you know it works. |

For a street car the cheap stuff you get at the auto parts store works fine. Racers and people doing track events often search out higher temperature fluid.
