[DML] Re: brakes

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Crack the lines loose on the master cylinder and bleed it first. Once
you know for sure the master cylinder is good and is bled move on to
the front left wheel first. Next do the front right. Make sure you do
not take too much fluid out without checking that the master cylinder
has plenty in it or you will have to start all over. Finish up with
the rear wheels doing the rear left and then the rear right. As long
as you are working on the brakes check and lubricate the emergency
brake. I remove all the old brake fluid from the master cylinder
BEFORE I start so I don't push the old, dirty stuff through it. Use
fresh Castrol DOT 4 GTLMA. Do the clutch too if a 5-speed. You are
supposed to flush the brakes and clutch every 2 years as per the manual.
