My mechanic thought me how to flush and change brake fluid without needing to dissemble anything. Just open the reservoir pump out as much as you can from the reservoir. Then top it up with the same type of brake fluid. Drive for few thousand km or next oil change and do it again.
I'm doing this for 1975 corolla and also a 2006 myvi. |

QUOTE(Thrust @ Mar 24 2020, 09:49 AM) He meant to jump suck out brake oil in the reservoir pump and fill in fresh fluid without bleeding all 4 calipers. Yes this is the technique.Eventually the new fluid will mix with the old fluid along the lines. Repeat this step after a couple thousand km to continue mixing the new and old fluid. Eventually, those old fluid will be replaced out. Anyway, I prefer to bleed out the old fluid and replace it all with fresh fluid. Mechanics doesn't charge much for this service anyway.  |
