what do you guys do to do a brake flush? im doing my brakes and i have ate super blue. from what i read, its bleed until i see new fluid come out of the caliper. is this when new fluid comes out of THE FIRST CALIPER being bled? i also read about using a turkey baster on the master cylinder to empty it. is it really needed, or can i just do the first which is bleed the lines until i see new fluid?

thanks

I like to suck the old fluid out of the reservoir first. That's the stuff that has absorbed the most moisture, so I don't push that thru the system.

and i learned that from JimBlake as well and been doing it since,less old fluid u need to push threw the system as well..and u keep bleeding each caliper till fresh fluid and no bubbles are coming out..

 

If you're just now using the blue fluid for the first time, that will make it even easier to tell when all the old fluid is out. Just suck the old fluid out of the reservoir, fill it back up w/ new blue fluid, then continue to pump the old fluid out of each brake line and bleed until you see only solid blue fluid coming out the bleeder screw. Make sure you keep checking and refilling the brake reservoir. If it completely empties, it will suck in air and you'll have to start all over again.
