Brake fluid change

[Phil H]

I have got some new hoses from CA auto and after reading a few things i am unsure whether i can do the fluid change myself?

1. Can i do the fluid change myself? or do i need special equipment?

2. Is there a guide anywhere that anyone knows of? I do have a TIS cd but the brake fluid bit isnt very good at all.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

pop into Halfords and get 2 litres of DOT4 fluid and a 'eezy brake' (a one man bleeding kit) for 3 quid. start from the furthest wheel. make sure u don't run the reservoir dry! it's v easy, take the wheel off, connect the bleed tube to the nipple and turn the nipple until the fluid starts to come out (after you start pumping the brake pedal).

If you have never done it yourself, just get one of the forum sponsors to work on it, its not expensive but takes time to do bleeding.
