Alrighty,

Anybody changed their brake fluid recently? How easy is this to do, any pointers, any recommendations for fluid type?

I was going to follow this guide:

seems fairly straight forward:hmmm:

Good enough guide that. As it says, ideally 3 people but you can do it with 2.

Last time I did it it only took 2 of us as we've got a bleeder that connects to a compressor and sucks the fluid out, no need to pump the brake. Just one person sucking and one topping up the level. Dot 4 I used.

Remember DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES get the brake fluid on your paintwork anywhere as it WILL strip the paint clean off!!!!

Just get the garage to mine as part of the service.
