My brake fluid is all brown and ****...and I want to change it to synthetic stuff, but how do I get ALL of the old stuff out???

I'm a newbie when it come to messing with y car...so help a learning brother out!! thanks..

92 EG Hatch with ZC swap....

 

When I flushed a friends 300ZX (Nightmare by the way) . We kept putting new fluid in (much like bleeding brakes) . only we kept bleeding the brakes till the new fluid was coming out of each bleeder on each wheel . HOpe that was some help . Takes time too .

NE one else...thanks bro...

 

You can take it to any modernized automotive shop, or you can purchase one of these.

The bleed sequence doesnt fully remove all the old fluid.

 

get like one of those turkey baster thingys that you can suck out the old fluid in the Master cyl and then fill it up with clean fluid. Pump your brakes for like 2 or 3 minutes and then drain and refill your master cyl again, then start at the right rear wheel and bleed the brakes out until you have clear fluid coming out, make sure you keep close eye on the fluid level in the reservoir, then go to the left rear and repeat until fluid is clean, then right front, then left front, then suck all the brake fluid out of the reservoir again and wipe it out with a clean lint free rag and fill it again, then your set.

I thought for brake bleeding you start at passenger rear then do driver rear then move to the front and do the passenger and driver side. You start from the farthest valve and work your way to the closest.

no according to the helms manual Passenger rear, driver front, driver rear, passenger front...in that order...I know how to do that........I just couldn't get it all flushed...

THanks for the turkey baster idea...I'll try that this week...thanks guys
