Basic Maintenance: Brake Fluid

[peterbaron]

This is a very detailed procedure, so even a beginner will have no problem, and the photos, as always, are great and helpful!!
Honestly, I'd never heard of the reverse brake fluid flush method until I read this thread.

I'm trained in using pressure and vacuum equipment and have the necessary equipment at home and at work, so I'm sticking with what I've learned. However, not everyone has access to a compressor in the garage, which is necessary to perform this task using my methods.

My biggest reservations are the length of this procedure and the fact that brake fluid is pumped in the opposite direction of normal flow, meaning that any sludge that has accumulated in the calipers must be flown through the ABS, brake master, compensation port, and back to the reservoir, as well as air bubbles in the brake system when this procedure is completed.
In short: it doesn't matter which service method you use or how you repair it, as every operator is different and has different skills and access to equipment... what counts is the correct service or repair and a positive end result.
